Melt Melt Melt!
Put about 2 cups of candy corn in a microwave safe bowl. Run it for about 30-45 seconds on high. Stir it, check if it's smooth, if not, run it again 30-45 seconds at a time, stirring after each microwave run. When it looks like the second picture, add the cup of peanut butter (mine is all natural and a little oily in the 3rd picture) melt that in the microwave too, 30 seconds at a time.
When it looks like the 4th picture you are basically ready for the next step!

Cool and Cut!
Pour the peanut butter candy corn mixture into the lined 9x9 pan. Put it in the fridge for 60-90 minutes, until cool to the touch and able to cut!
(Note: if you freeze it, it will break up unevenly like my second photo!)

Dunk your pieces of butterfinger middles on the chocolate and place in parchment.

(Tip: putting parchment on a cookie sheet helps when moving the candies to the fridge for the final cool down!)
