My husband and I try whenever possible, to celebrate Valentine’s Day the weekend before to beat all the lines and wait times. Everyone is typically saving their out-to-eat dinners and movies for Valentine’s Day, so we are usually seated right away and have no problem doing what we wanted to do.
On Valentine’s Day, I make a nice meal at home and he usually plans the activity. We usually include our kids on Valentine’s Day because we had our “Date-night” before hand. For dessert this year, I made Homemade Butterfingers because it is one of my husbands favorite candy bars. They were a hit! Both my hubby and my daughter enjoyed them!
Best part of all…They only have 3 INGREDIENTS!
HOMEMADE BUTTERFINGERS

They do look delicious but where can you find candy corn this time of year?
I just found it down the candy aisle. I think most stores with have some.
I have seen these all over pinterest and wondered if they really taste like butterfingers because those are Matt's favorite candy bar too. Glad too know that they do. I will definitely have to try them now. PS Your food photography is awesome!
Candy Corn…REALLY!I might have to go ahead and try them.
Your recipe is posted all over facebook and I looked, thought and debated about making these. I actually have candycorn leftover from thanksgiving. But I said, no, be good, then,I open my e-mails this morning and saw your recipe. Ok, I'm making them, I can't resist, it must be meant to be!! Yum, yum!!
Awesome! I just had to try it, but didn't have the candy corn.. I had some candy pumpkins that had the same consistency as candy corn, but more orange and pumpkin shaped. They turned out really good!
wow, i can't believe how easy making homemade butterfingers are!! that's crazy candy corns are used. i'll have to try this!!
Cool I can't wait to try these. I just found your pin on pinterest. Thanks so much for sharing.
Butterfingers are my favorite but I usually won't eat them because they stick to my teeth. These look like the solution. If I can find the candy corn I will have to make these. Thanks! Visiting from Whimsically Homemade!
I love butterfingers. Even if they do get stuck in my teeth :P
I just wrote a post about these as well. Eventually I want to come up with a real food version.http://www.suzyhomemaker.net/2012/02/3-ingredient-butterfinger.html
