Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Easy Peanut Butter Candy Bars.
Step 1
Begin by lining a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper to ensure effortless removal later.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl—steer clear of plastic—combine the vibrant candy corn.
Step 3
Heat it in the microwave, using 30-second intervals, and stir after each session until the candy corn transforms into a smooth, melted delight.
Step 4
Once it reaches that velvety consistency, fold in the crunchy peanut butter until the mixture is fully blended.
Step 5
Pour this luscious concoction into your prepared pan, pressing it down firmly into the corners for an even layer.
Step 6
Next, set up a double boiler over simmering water and add the semisweet chocolate chips along with vegetable shortening.
Step 7
Stir continuously until the chocolate melts into a silky mixture.
Step 8
Gently spread this melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer in the pan, creating a beautiful top layer.
Step 9
Place the pan in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes, or until it sets perfectly.
Step 10
Once firm, slice into squares and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
