Homemade Butterfingers Candy Bars

  |  41 Comments

Some people at my mom’s work were talking about this recipe and how amazing it was. They then told me the ingredients used to make these homemade Butterfingers and I was incredibly doubtful . . . I love Butterfinger candy bars, but I am not crazy about candy corn. They don’t taste like each other at all! So, in an effort to prove them wrong, I tried this recipe . . .
And I am still in complete shock over how DELICIOUS they were!
And yes, they really did taste like Butterfingers! It is unreal! The taste is seriously spot-on.
I did feel like they weren’t as hard and flaky as the actual candy bars, but I read that freezing the bars a for a little while will help with that. I actually liked these bars better than the Butterfinger candy bar. Try them out for yourself . . . they are so easy to make and require no baking at all.

    I saw a comment about this recipe on another blog and the cook had accidentally overcooked her candy corn in the microwave for almost 3 minutes... the candy was bubbling up like milk will. She VERY quickly added the PB and the finished bars were crunchy like a real Butterfinger......

    We made this recipe tonight and I accidentally microwaved the candy corn too long too. I hadn't read the above quote yet, but I mixed in the PB anyway and hoped for the best.

    Ours turned out crunchy like a real butterfinger. Amazing!

    OMG...seriously? I'm thinking there's just no way this will taste like Butterfingers, right? WRONG! Being the night owl that I am, and having a serious sweet tooth. I thought these sound super simple so...what the heck, it's almost 1 am and I'm wide awake. Here we go. The filling is in the fridge as we speak and my son is in his room scraping the bowl with a spoon! That's just the filling. We haven't even got to the chocolate yet. I think we are going to be in heaven quite soon....gotta go melt some chocolate now. Thanks for sharing!

    I made these last night. They did not turn out as pretty as your picture, but they taste pretty good. I think next time I will melt the candy corn just a bit more, as it seemed to seize up a bit when I was trying to mix in the PB. Oh well, at least this candy (even though it was a fail for me) tastes good. :)
