Homemade Butterfingers

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!

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!

    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!
