halloween butterfinger bites

When I heard that putting peanut butter together with melted candy corn tastes like a Butterfinger, I did not believe it. But, sure enough I made this recipe and it tastes exactly like the inside of one and it comes together in minutes!

What You’ll Need To Make Butterfinger Bites

  • Creamy Peanut Butter: The nutty flavor and creamy texture binds the candy corn together to make a perfect butterfinger-like dessert.
  • Candy Corn: Take good old candy corn and melt it in the microwave to get the perfect texture.
  • Chocolate Chips: These could be white chocolate, milk chocolate or even dark chocolate. Use this to to drizzle on top of the bites or dunk them entirely in chocolate for a more decadent treat. 

How To Make Halloween Butterfinger Bites

  1. In a glass bowl, add 1.5 cups candy corn.
  2. Have ⅔ cup Creamy Peanut Butter on hand measured out.
  3. Microwave the candy corn in 30 second intervals until it’s completely melted. This should take about 2-3 intervals. 
  4. QUICKLY stir in the creamy peanut butter until the mixture is evenly combined.
  5. Roll into bite sized spheres about 1-2 tablespoons each.
  6. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes on parchment paper. 
  7. Once they are firm and ready, melt ½ cup chocolate chips of choice in a glass microwave safe bowl or measuring cup in 30 second intervals, stirring until fully melted.
  8. With a fork or spoon, drizzle melted chocolate on top of bites. 
  9. Place back in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or until chocolate hardens.
  10. Serve with your favorite Halloween treats! 

Recipe Tips

  • If you’d like to cover the entire bite in chocolate, a full 2 cups of chocolate chips are needed to melt.
  • You could use a double boiler to melt the candy corn, but it will take a long time and will stick to the bowl even more.
  • If any sticky candy corn mixture gets left on the bowl, soak it in hot soapy water for 1 hour then scrub with a sponge.
  • These bites will last up to 1 week in an airtight container in the fridge.
  • Feel free to make other shapes or decorate with sprinkles or candy eyeballs. 
  • For a crunchy bite, use crunchy peanut butter.
