Butterfinger – Copycat

Who knew that making homemade butterfingers was so easy? Well maybe if you are on pinterest then maybe you’ve seen how easy it actually is. With just one secret ingredient. Candy Corn.

Now, the texture of these homemade butterfingers isn’t the exact same as the kind from the store – its a little less crunchy in the middle. But, Nate thinks they are even better this way. And really the flavor is spot on. Seriously, candy corn. Who knew?

Well a couple months ago, actually maybe back in October or November I bought candy corn from the grocery store. I’m actually not sure if its something that is for sale year round, or if it can only be bought during Halloween time.

Hopefully you can buy them year round, so that you can go to the store today to get some and then make this recipe. All it takes is candy corn, peanut butter and chocolate.
