Things I discover on Pinterest: melted candy corn mixed with peanut butter tastes like Butterfingers. But, like… seriously. And if you pour this magic concoction on top of melted chocolate, and top it with more melted chocolate, you have butterfinger bark. All you need is three ingredients and about 20 minutes. Easiest treat ever!
Seriously though, how cute is this?! It’s the perfect Halloween-y chocolate fix, and it couldn’t be any faster or simpler. All you need is two bowls, a microwave, and a baking sheet. Of course, you don’t have to stick with just candy corn and pumpkins on top like I did… add sprinkles! Sprinkle black and orange M&M’s on top! Or why not top it with little chunks of real Butterfingers? Super cute! Trick-or-treating candy is a whole day away, but this? Well, this you can make immediately. Enjoy! 🙂
Candy Corn Butterfinger Bark
Recipe from Jen’s Favorite Cookies
Yields: one jelly-roll pan of bark
1 bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 bag white chocolate chips
20 oz (2 bags) candy corn
1 1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
additional candy corn, for topping
First things first, line your baking sheet with parchment, wax paper, or foil; set aside. In a medium bowl, pour half the white chocolate and half the semisweet chocolate {try to keep them on opposite sides of the bowl} and microwave for about a minute. Stir, and heat in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate onto your prepared sheet, and smooth out with a spatula, swirling the two chocolates. Pour all of the candy corn in another medium bowl, and repeat the microwaving process. As soon as it’s completely melted and smooth, quickly stir in the peanut butter until well combined. Pour the peanut butter mixture on top of your first chocolate layer, trying to get it thin and even. In the chocolate bowl from earlier, pour the remaining semisweet and white chocolate chips, and microwave until smooth and melted. Again, pour on top of the peanut butter layer and smooth out. Immediately top with the extra candy corn (if using) and place in fridge or freezer until solid. Break into smaller pieces and enjoy! 🙂
