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.
HOMEMADE "BUTTERFINGERS"
I needed to make a snack for something, and I had a few boxes of Cheez-Its in my pantry needing a use. I started searching the internet for something to make (honestly was thinking some type of a bar something - it didn't need to be sweet), when I came across this on another site. Because I prefer this one, I thought I would add it here. Tried a couple and I was hooked! It'll have people scratching their heads!

HOMEMADE BUTTERFINGER BITES
Bent on using up a stash of leftover candy corn, I decided to experiment. Turns out, if you melt it, mix it with peanut butter and coat the balls with chocolate, you get a softer, denser version of a Butterfinger bite. Who knew? They're delicious! -Melissa Hansen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

EASY BUTTER FINGERS CANDY
Sometimes I am embarrassed to tell people how easy this delicious candy is to make. It tastes very much like a famous crunchy peanut candy bar, and can be made in about 10 minutes (total time)! I like to buy a lot candy corn right after Halloween when it is on sale so it can be a very inexpensive candy to make. Sometimes I drizzle some melted milk chocolate on top of the semisweet chocolate after it's cooled just for decoration.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will greatly impact the flavor of your Butterfingers. Use a good-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate for the best results.
- Temper your chocolate: Tempering your chocolate will help it set properly and give it a smooth, shiny finish. If you don't temper your chocolate, it may seize up and become grainy.
- Be patient: Making Butterfingers takes time. You need to allow the chocolate to set properly before you can cut and package them. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with messy, broken Butterfingers.
Conclusion:
Homemade Butterfingers are a delicious and satisfying treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and only require a few simple ingredients. With a little time and effort, you can create your own delicious Butterfingers that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
