Are you looking for a Halloween Treat that is fast AND easy? Just keep reading and check out this recipe. This recipe is from Six Sisters Stuff. This is about the easiest recipe you will ever make. Just look at this:
3 Ingredients:
16 oz. candy corn
16 oz. creamy peanut butter
16 oz. chocolate candy coating or chocolate chips
Melt the candy corn in a microwave safe dish first. Place it in bowl and heat on high for 1 minute. Stir it. If it is not smooth continue heating for 15 second intervals until all lumps are gone. Stir in the peanut butter. This may look strange and bumpy but keep stirring until all the candy corn is dispersed throughout the peanut butter. Now spread this into a 9 x 9 pan that has been lined with parchment paper. Leave the extra paper hanging out over the edge while it cools. You can leave it on the counter to cool or place in the fridge. I left mine on the counter because it was still soft enough to cut when it was cool.
Take this out of the pan by lifting the corners of the parchment when cool and cut with a pizza cutter into the size bars you want.
Melt the chocolate following the package directions in a small bowl or cup just large enough to dip your pieces in. I use a fork to lower them down into the chocolate and then tap this on the side of the bowl as I take them out to remove excess chocolate.
Now place on a parchment lined cookie sheet and let them set up. I found that they are really good this way but when I put them in the fridge to get cold they were crunchier and over the top delicious! Enjoy!!

This homemade candy recipe is super fun and
easy so I wanted to get it up on the blog so any of you looking for
quick homemade gift could get it in time for the Holidays!
I found these candies on a website a couple of years ago and have loved making this recipe. They only take about 1/2 hour to make and are fun to give as neighbor gifts. The marshmellows can be found at Walmart along with the carmel bits.
Here is how you do it:
Ingredients
1 package Stacker Mallows (thin marshmallows) 8oz. bag. Mine had 46 in it and I used them all.
11 oz. bag Caramel Bits. (any caramel would work but these are much easier than unwrapping them.)
2 Tablespoons milk
12 to 16 oz peanuts. (I used Great Value Cocktail peanuts)
32 oz chocolate.
(I have used both chocolate almond bark and Callebaut wafers and they were both good). The ones pictured in this blog are the Callebaut dark chocolate Snaps and look semisweet but were sweet and tasted very good.)
Begin by setting up a couple of cookie sheets and line with parchment paper. Set out the marshmallows. These have a concave side and a rounded side. I set them with the concave side up because it holds the caramel a little bit better.
Then put the caramel bits in a microwave safe bowl and heat with the milk for 1 minute. Stir with a fork and then keep heating for 15 second intervals until the caramel is melted and smooth.
Pour the peanuts on a plate and set up your workstation together like this:
Now you can pick up a marshmallow and use a knife to fill the center of it with caramel. Then turn the whole thing over and press lightly into the nuts.
Set them down on the cookie sheet to cool for about 20 minutes.
When they are firm, melt the chocolate in the microwave until smooth when stirred. (I stir every 15 to 30 seconds. The container should be deep and tall but wide enough to easily get the chocolates out with a fork. I use my 2 cups Pyrex measuring cup.
Drop them in and cover with chocolate. Lift out with a fork. Wipe off excess chocolate from underneath side of fork and set on the cookie sheet to harden.
As the chocolate cools it will turn from glossy to a dull color. You can see that the closest chocolates are not yet set and the furthest chocolates are dull and set.
There you go! These are melt in your mouth delicious!
