Home Made Butterfingers, Chick-O-Sticks and Atkins Peanut Butter Bars
Home Made Butterfingers:
Need:
1 bag of candy corn 1 jar of peanut butter 1 bag of chocolate (your choice of almond bark, chips, bars, etc.) Aluminum pan or other container Knife, bowl, spoon, spatula and forks Waxed paper
Buy as close to equal amounts of candy corn and peanut butter as you can. When I made this I used 16 grams of candy corn and 20 grams of peanut butter. It worked great.
Place the candy corn in a microwavable bowl and melt them on high. This will usually take 2-2 1/2 minutes. Stir to make sure all the pieces have melted. Add the peanut butter. Combine well. The mixtures will thicken. Dump mixture in aluminum pan or other contain and flatten out. Be careful as mixture will be hot. Pan can then be placed in fridge to cool. Once cool, cut it into small strips and then into smaller bars. Melt chocolate in a bowl in the microwave. Dip and cover bars in chocolate. Use one or two forks for good coverage. Set bars on waxed paper to dry.
By the next day the peanut butter/candy corn center will harden. These taste just like store-bought butterfingers.
For Chick-O-Sticks:
Create the same candy corn/peanut butter mixture but add toasted coconut. Roll into logs and allow cool.
For Atkins Peanut Butter Bars:
Create the same candy corn/peanut butter mixture. Cut into small pieces and dip in a powdered sugar glaze. Place pieces on waxed paper and allow glaze to dry before eating.
You Are Welcome!

Or you could simply buy real Butterfingers.

Why would you want to go to all that work to make homemade Butterfingers when you can just buy them?

R2, You can. However, there is a novelty in making something yourself that tastes exactly like the famous brand. Women also get a kick out of this and love trying to one-up the other women at office parties and holidays.

Where is the farm fresh butter in your recipe?

I just a saw a big display of Chick-O-Sticks at a convenience store. I was surprised they still made them, but even more surprised they were only 39 cents each. At that price why would you ever make them?
I bought two, ate one per day, and on the 3rd day I lost a filling. Coincidence? Maybe . . .

There are several books out on how to recreate your own packaged food (e.g., Oreos, Hostess cupcakes) and restaurant food (KFC chicken, Big Mac.)

How could melted candy canes and peanut butter taste like Butterfingers? They hard and crunch and stick to your teeth.
Buy a Clark bar. Now that tastes like a butterfingers.

None of this is an actual part of a low-carb eating plan.

Whatever how does corn and peanut butter turn hard and crunch and stick to your teeth?

R11, It works. Trust me. Candy corn is primarily sugar anyway. When it hardens it tastes just like a butterfinger. Here's a video:

Atkins takeoffs do not have candy corn.

Because measuring out equal amounts is more "cooking" than OP can handle, apparently. not that anyone with an interest in cooking would ever make these items.

For Oprah's Home-Made Finger Snacks®:
Create the same candy corn/peanut butter mixture but deep fry in a vat of lard. Roll into extra-wide logs and allow to cool. Dip in butter.

Instead of powdered sugar for the Atkins one, just dip in pork rinds.

Sure, I'd like to spend $10 on ingredients and waste an hour to make "homemade" Butterfingers, which really is just melting and combining other candy. Or I could buy some already made and nicely packaged, and without the cat hair that would inevitably show up in a "homemade" one.

As a cooking streamer on Twitch.tv, I am so excited to make the chick o sticks. I have a loyal viewer that "challenged" me to make them so I MUST make them now. I will be doing this hopefully on July 18, 2019. Thank you for posting the recipe. www.twitch.tv/mamashouse1984

I would make homemade Carnation breakfast bars if a true copycat recipe existed. Maybe if you mixed one part smashed malted milk balls with two parts of crumbled chewy (i.e., super soft and sticky) granola bars together to form the base recipe..

Da fuck?
Candy corn is all sugar and sugar is all carbs.
That's some seriously unhealthy shit you're pushing OP
I thought "Atkins" was the original "keto" e.g., no carbs.

No one who has just ingested those ingredients should be anywhere near a knife or a fork.

There is no way this could be "Atkins".
