recipes: homemade butterfinger bark

Hey, guys! Happy Saturday! Woohoo!! :) You can tell I've had my coffee this morning :) I'm extra happy and gregarious when I've had my joe-joe. Anyways, I wanted to share the treat I made for last night's Halloween partay. I found this recipe on Pinterest here.

Homemade Butterfinger Bark. Yum.


 INGREDIENTS 

  • 5 cups candy corn
  • 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
  • 20 oz. chocolate for melting, divided in half


 INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  2. Melt 10 oz. of chocolate over double boiler or in microwave, according to package directions.
  3. Spread the melted chocolate on the foil lined baking sheet, approximately 11"x15". Don't worry too much about the exact measurements, you just want it to be a thin layer.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the fridge to chill quickly (about 10 minutes)
  5. In a large microwave safe bowl, melt your candy corn for 1 minute and then stir. Then in 30 second increments until melted, stirring after each 30 seconds.
  6. Immediately stir in peanut butter. Mixture will be very thick.
  7. Spread it on top of chilled chocolate.
  8. Place back in the fridge for another 20 minutes until chilled
  9. Melt the remaining chocolate and spread it on top of the peanut butter layer.
  10. Chill again at least 20 minutes. (Don't do what I did and put it in the freezer. If it gets too hard, you won't be able to cut it)
  11. Cut into triangle shaped pieces.
