I try to be good with my eating during most of the year. Yes, I have a sweet tooth, but I really do try to limit myself. Come Christmas time, though, I go full out in the candy mode. I love making candies! There is just something so lovely about seeing a plate of glossy chocolates.
Lately, however, I have been experiencing signs of aging (I guess that's what happens when you are in your 40's) and standing at a stove plays havoc with my fibromyalgia. So when I see a recipe for candy that uses minimal ingredients and is quick to make, I am all over it!
Candy Corn Butterfingers
adapted from Taste of Home forums
1 lb. candy corn
16oz jar peanut butter (I used a generic brand of peanut butter)
16oz good quality chocolate, tempered ( I cannot stand the stores chocolate coatings but they will work if you want to go that route)
Melt candy corn in microwave on high 1 minute. Stir and continue cooking in 15-second intervals til melted, stirring after each interval. Stir in peanut butter. Spread mixture in an 8x8 pan lined with parchment. Cool completely. Cut into squares. Dip in melted chocolate candy coating. Lay on waxed paper to set.
Note: I made mine using the stove top with a double boiler. It worked great!
