HOMEMADE BUTTERFINGERS
Steps:
- Grease an 8x8 pan with shortening. Line with two pieces of parchment, one in each direction, greasing in between. Place peanuts in a food processor and pulse until ground into fine pieces. Heat peanut butter in the microwave for 20 seconds on 50% power to warm. Stir.In another bowl, melt candy corn in 30- to 40-second increments on 50% power. Stir between each heating. Once melted, stir in peanut butter. Immediately turn out onto a sheet of parchment paper. Form into a rectangle a little larger than the pan. No need to be exact. Press the peanuts into the mixture. Fold into thirds, like a letter. Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangle of about the same size as before. Press cornflakes on top, crushing them as you do. Fold into thirds in the same manner. Roll flat. Fold into thirds again. Once more, roll flat into a square about the size of the pan. Press into the pan, smoothing with your hands. Let the mixture set up about 15 minutes. Lift out of the pan and cut into pieces. Place on a wire rack and let cool completely. Once cool, melt chocolate wafers as directed on the package. Dip and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Let chocolate set up before storing or packaging. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.

Dip each piece of candy into the chocolate, using a fork to turn and coat. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pieces of candy. Drizzle the chocolate decoratively over the top of the chocolate-coated candy. Let the chocolate cool and set up completely.
EASY BUTTER FINGERS CANDY
Sometimes I am embarrassed to tell people how easy this delicious candy is to make. It tastes very much like a famous crunchy peanut candy bar, and can be made in about 10 minutes (total time)! I like to buy a lot candy corn right after Halloween when it is on sale so it can be a very inexpensive candy to make. Sometimes I drizzle some melted milk chocolate on top of the semisweet chocolate after it's cooled just for decoration.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your Butterfingers candy bars will be. Use real butter, unsweetened chocolate, and peanut butter without added sugar or oil.
- Make sure your chocolate is tempered: Tempering chocolate is a process of heating and cooling it in a specific way. This helps to stabilize the chocolate and make it smooth and shiny.
- Don't overmix the peanut butter filling: Overmixing the peanut butter filling will make it too stiff. Mix it just until it is smooth and creamy.
- Chill the candy bars well before cutting them: This will help to keep them from crumbling.
- Store the candy bars in a cool, dry place: Butterfingers candy bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
