Candy corn is Halloween to me. I adapted this recipe from
Savvy Naturalista.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups candy corn
2 cups peanut butter
1 tablespoon canola oil
Directions:
Place the candy corn on a cookie sheet . I placed aluminium foil on the cookie sheet which has non stick spray on it. Place in a preheated 350 degree oven for 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully! You do not not the candy corn to totally melt, just soften it. Once soften add to food processor and blend.
Once blended it will look like a lump- add the peanut butter, 1/2 cup at a time to the food processor and combine until smooth.
If you want it smoother add the canola oil.
Next time I'm going to add in crushed chocolate covered pretzels. Super YUM!
OMG.......leave it to Linda to find the best recipes. This sounds like a real winner. How can you not love candy corn?? Well, I know some people don't, but I happen to be a big fan. I gotta try this one. How great is this for a Halloween party?? Yummm
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those who doesn't! LOL
DeleteOh yeahhhhhh-I remember when you went to those recipe swaps last year. I recognize a few faces from your other posts.
ReplyDeleteCandy Corn Butter is something I never would have thought up....but I will admit to eating candy corn and salted peanuts....that's one killer combination....I do love sweet and salty.
This looks easy enough to make too-thanks for the tip on softening the candy corn too. Oh and I like the way you think....chocolate covered pretzels in that mix? Oh heavens........delicious!
It's a good Halloween party treat! Bet Nick and Stephen would love it.
DeleteI also wanted to say hi to all the ladies who were there with you. I know you really enjoyed going when you were there before. Looking forward to seeing more of what this group shares.
ReplyDeleteAlso, was thinking, maybe you could soften the candy corn in the microwave ????
Sure you could. I always forget about the microwave.
DeleteI wish I could eat peanuts. But, I can have almond butter :) Thanks Linda. chocolate covered pretzels? be still my heart.....YUM
ReplyDeleteLOVE chocolate covered pretzels!!!
DeleteNo candy corn for me but I can still imagine the recipe would be tasty. The added pretzels would be a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteI had a little but gave most of it away Angela.
DeleteI should have mentioned that I might be swayed on the candy corn if I were to taste this recipe! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis looks so good. I love Peanut Butter and this might be something I would try and eat sparingly.
ReplyDeleteWill Larry eat it with you Dottie?
DeleteI need to let everyone know the candy corn peanut butter was great. Ted, Amanda and I received some from Linda we ate on crackers, bread, and with a spoon. It was good and yummy. I am glad to have them back in
ReplyDeleteFlorida although I know she loves up north
Glad you liked it!
DeleteWow this is interesting! What do you serve it with? Bread? Crackers? Something sweet? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThis taste actually like the filling of a butterfinger. I had a Hersey Bar and I split it half and used the "butter" as the filling. WOW, was that good!
