Homemade Butterfingers
- 1/2 cups Roasted, Salted Peanuts
- 1/2 cups Smooth Peanut Butter (Not All-natural)
- 3 cups Candy Corn
- 1 cup Cornflakes
- 2 packages (10 To 12 Oz. Size) Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers
- Grease an 8x8 pan with shortening. Line with two pieces of parchment, one in each direction, greasing in between.
- Place peanuts in a food processor and pulse until ground into fine pieces.
- Heat peanut butter in the microwave for 20 seconds on 50% power to warm. Stir.
- In another bowl, melt candy corn in 30- to 40-second increments on 50% power. Stir between each heating. Once melted, stir in peanut butter.
- Immediately turn out onto a sheet of parchment paper. Form into a rectangle a little larger than the pan. No need to be exact. Press the peanuts into the mixture. Fold into thirds, like a letter.
- Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangle of about the same size as before. Press cornflakes on top, crushing them as you do. Fold into thirds in the same manner. Roll flat. Fold into thirds again.
- Once more, roll flat into a square about the size of the pan. Press into the pan, smoothing with your hands. Let the mixture set up about 15 minutes.
- Lift out of the pan and cut into pieces. Place on a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Once cool, melt chocolate wafers as directed on the package. Dip and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Let chocolate set up before storing or packaging. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
