BUTTERFINGER PIE RECIPE

CHEWY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BUTTERFINGER BARS

Steps:

• Base - Line an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil leaving overhang, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
• In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine peanut butter, corn syrup, sugars, and heat on high power for 1 minute to melt.
• Stop to stir. Mixture will be on the granular side, this is okay.
• Return bowl to microwave and heat for 1 more minute on high power.
• Stir in the vanilla.
• Stir in the cocoa powder
• Stir in the cereal.
• Turn mixture out into prepared pan, packing it down firmly with a spatula and smoothing the top; set pan aside.
• Topping - Crush or dice the Butterfingers. I squeeze them in my palm before unwrapping them. They crush very easily so don't squeeze too hard or you'll have orange dust; set candy aside.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup chocolate chips, peanut butter, and heat on high power for 1 minute to melt.
• Stop to stir. Chips may not be completely melted. Return bowl to microwave and heat in 15-second bursts until mixture can be stirred smooth; 15 seconds is likely all they'll need.
• Pour chocolate mixture over base, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
• Working somewhat quickly so that chocolate doesn't begin to set up, evenly sprinkle Butterfingers over the chocolate. I prefer a fairly densely covered surface; add candy according to preference. Set pan aside.
• In a medium microwave-safe bowl (same one just used to melt the chocolate and peanut butter is fine; don't need to wash it), place 1/4 cup chocolate chips and heat on high power for 1 minute to melt. Stop to stir. Chips may not be completely melted. Return bowl to microwave and heat in 15-second bursts until chocolate can be stirred smooth, 15 seconds is likely all they'll need.
• Using a spoon, evenly drizzle chocolate over the top of bars.
• Cover pan with a sheet of foil (to prevent fridge smells), and place pan in fridge to set up for at least 3 hours, or overnight, or until layers are completely set before lifting bars out with foil overhang, slicing, and serving. Before slicing, allowing bars to come to room temp for 15 minutes will make slicing much easier. Bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

HOMEMADE BUTTERFINGERS

Steps:

• 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.
