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.
Ingredients
- 1 pound candy corn
- 1 (18 ounce) jar crunchy peanut butter
- 1 (6 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening, or more if needed
Directions
Step 1
Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place candy corn in a microwave-safe bowl (not plastic) and heat in several 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until candy corn is warm, melted, and smooth.
Step 3
Stir peanut butter into melted candy corn until thoroughly combined; transfer candy to the prepared pan, pressing and smoothing the candy into the corners of the pan.
Step 4
Place chocolate chips and vegetable shortening into the top of a double boiler set over simmering water. Heat the chocolate, stirring constantly, until just warm, melted, and smooth. Spread warm chocolate over the peanut candy. Chill in refrigerator until candy is set, at least 30 minutes, before cutting into squares.
Cook’s Notes:
I like to buy candy corn on sale after Halloween to use for making candy for Christmas gifts.
