RECIPE: Peanut Butter Candy Bar Bites
Peanut Butter Candy Bar Bites
Prep Time: 15 min. plus refrigerating | Makes: 32 servings.
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg. (16 oz.) candy corn (2-1/3 cups)
- 1 jar (16.3 oz.) PLANTERS Creamy Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup crushed Corn Flakes
- 2 pkg. (8 squares each) BAKER’S Semi-Sweet Chocolate
Directions:
LINE 8-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Microwave candy corn in large microwavable bowl sprayed with cooking spray on HIGH 1 min.; stir. Continue microwaving until candy is completely melted, stirring every 15 sec. Immediately stir in peanut butter and crushed cereal until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
PRESS firmly onto bottom of foil-lined 8-inch square pan; cool completely.
USE foil handles to remove cereal mixture from pan; cut into 32 bars. Melt chocolate as directed on package. Dip bars in chocolate; place in single layer in shallow waxed paper-lined pan. Refrigerate 1 hour or until chocolate coating is firm.
Peanut Butter Candy Bar Minis:
Cut into 48 bars instead of the 32 bars.
Kraft Kitchens’ Insider Tip:
To lessen the chance of crumbling, the cereal mixture is cut into bars while still at room temperature prior to dipping them in the melted chocolate.
Note:
If any melted chocolate remains after all the bars are coated, store it in a tightly covered container at room temperature until ready to use for another use.

Ok, these look delish.
My family and I have gone totally organic and it is absolute torture to stand in line at the grocery store, seeing all those wonderful candy bars.
I have indulged a bunch in Justin’s Peanut Butter Cups, but I want to make some myself (with a bit or alteration) and these look worth giving a try!
Howdy! Would you mind if I share your blog with my myspace

hi, not sure if suppose to be on this site, came upon it surfing, love the recipe for peanut butter candy bar bites and was interested on the method used to dip them as they look so professional .If you do have a moment to respond it would be greatly appreciated as I am not great at navigating all the blogs and links as a newbie. Thanks so much for your time.
Now these sound good and so simple to make. Wonder how well they will hold up on a warm day out of the deck. Will just have to eat them fast!
I just printed out this one too. I love the sound of butterfingers. Thanks again!
Yum! It is like a peanut butter cup, but as a bar. I bet I could eat 100 of these.
Wow. These look amazing. I’m pinning to make for sure! I’d love for you to join my linky, Crazy Sweet Tuesday, sometime. (The linky runs through Friday.) Have a great weekend! 🙂
Interesting ingredients – (candy corn!) – they look super yummy!!!
Looks so good.
These look so good and they are so pretty!! Very impressive!
I’ve been looking for a way to use up the rest of our candy corn. Great recipe!
What is candy corn, is that an american thing. I’ve never heard of it. Do you mean caramel corn?
No, I mean Candy Corn – I didn’t realize it was an American thing. I am an International Exchange Coordinator and have supervised hundreds of International Teenagers over the years and not one has been shocked by Candy Corn. 🙂 Where are you from?
