If you like chocolate bars with a flaky peanut buttery center, you may recognize this treat, it tastes very similar to a famous candy bar! But you must try this Peanut Butter Candy Bar Bites recipe to find out, it’s simple and absolutely delicious, we tried them at the BlogEats Conference back when I was at the Kraft Kitchens, they do not disappoint!
Prep Time: 15 min. plus refrigerating | Makes: 32 servings.
| What You Need |
| 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 |
| Make It | |
| Line 8-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Microwave candy corn in large microwaveble 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.

Sounds yummy to me!
oh yummy! those look soo good. I’d be almost afraid to make them because I’d eat them all. NO joke!
These looks great! I can’t believe the ingredients (candy corn) who would have thought? I’m sure my son will love these. Thanks for sharing.
I know, I never knew candy corn can end up tasting like that flaky goodness!! Kraft chefs are so brilliant.
I LOVE that little famous candy bar and these look absolutely delicious!
I am really surprised at the Candy Corn and corn flakes ingredients.
Sounds yummy! I’m surprised the candy corn will work. We tried microwaving it one time and it hardened so quickly. We have a whole box of candy corn though so I am loving a recipe that will help me get rid of some.
I must say the ingredients sound pretty gross together, but the end result looks so GOOD!! 🙂
I might just have to make these one day soon!
That is insanely yummy-looking AND so easy to make! Only 3 ingredients, nice!
wow! I never would have thought about using those ingredients
Oh my goodness! How did you know ‘that’ is one of my favorite candies. Now you’re making me go to the store to buy all the ingredients 😛 Thank you for sharing this great, yummy find!
