Sorry, I love candy corn...You have to learn to eat it properly..in layers. You have to start at the top, being very VERY careful not to encroach on the next layer down, and tr y to get as close as possible to the next layer. Takes 5 minutes to eat one.
Thanks for the laugh...that was hilarious!
BTW try this recipe...sounds totally ridiculous, but tastes just like butterfingers:
1 lb of Reg. brachs candy corn
1 12 oz. jar of your fave extra crunchy peanut butter
1 bag of semi sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons of shorting
In a large glass bowl Melt candy corn for 1 minute on HIGH. stir (you'll need some muscles) 15 sec more and stir more. another 15 or more until completely melted.. add the peanut butter and stir until very well blended.
Line a 8x8 pyrex with parchment paper.. smooth onto paper and I used a buttered rolling pin to even it out. Stick in the freezer and allow it to set up.. about 20 minutes uncovered
While your waiting for you set up
using a double boiler.. heat water and melt chocolate .. add 2 tablespoons of shortening (not buttered, just plain)
Your butterfinger are ready to be squared cut. Dip into chocolate and lay on parchment cookie sheet. I used a slotted spatula so extra chocolate could drip off. After you done with your fist batch set them in the freezer to set up. after they are set (20 minutes) break off any extra edge chocolate and return it to melted chocolate.. repeat.. makes about 50 good bite sized bars.
These are so simple , but yet so fantastic. Taste the real thing but better , Use good chocolate chips.. I used Guitard .
