Homemade Butterfinger Bites image

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

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bites turned out dry and crumbly.

I'm not a fan of peanut butter, so I substituted almond butter in this recipe. The bites were still delicious!

I love Butterfinger candy bars, so I was excited to try this recipe. The bites were good, but I think I prefer the original candy bars.

These bites were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. I'll probably try making them again with less sugar next time.
