Sweetened Condensed Milk And Candy Corn Star In A Dessert That Rivals Its Popular Namesake Candy Bar
Homemade fudge gets an autumnal upgrade thanks to the addition of candy corn. Paired with chocolate and peanut butter, candy corn's signature flavor makes this fudge taste like a classic candy bar. Here's a hint: Bart Simpson would warn you that nobody better lay a finger on this fudge.
If you are a millennial or older, you know we mean Butterfingers. And if you love Butterfingers as much as Bart, you have to try this fudge recipe. Somehow, the combination of simple ingredients like chocolate chips, condensed milk, and, of course, candy corn come together to create a fudge that tastes just like the classic "crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery" candy bar.
Although candy corn is hard to describe, many people say it tastes buttery, with hints of vanilla and brown sugar. It can be divisive, with some people saying it's delicious and others saying it tastes like candle wax and sadness. But if you belong to the latter group, don't let your candy corn bias blind you: As long as you like Butterfingers, you will love this Butterfinger-flavored fudge!
How to make Butterfinger-flavored fudge
To make Butterfinger-flavored fudge, start by melting peanut butter and candy corn over a saucepan on low heat. Then, you can add in your chocolate. You can use milk chocolate chips on their own or try a combo of milk and white chocolate.
After adding in your condensed milk, spread your fudge in a baking pan and let it chill in the refrigerator for a few hours. At this point, you can slice it and enjoy it as is, or you can add on another layer of chocolate. If you opt for the latter, melt chocolate chips and then spread them on top of your cooled fudge, then return it to the fridge to chill and set.
If you love candy corn, you can boost the flavor by chopping pieces and sprinkling them on top of your fudge. You can also pulse Butterfinger bars in a food processor or blender, and then sprinkle the candy crumbles on top of your fudge before it sets.
