Candy Corn Butterfinger Pops

I simply love fall, it is my favorite time of year. I think of cooler weather, decorating, Halloween, and of course my favorite candy: candy corn ….lots and lots of candy corn! The darling yellow, orange, and white color combination is irresistible. Now, I must admit, eating more than two pieces of the stuff makes me sick to my stomach… but I eat it anyway. I collect candy corn decorations and I try to make them a theme for tailgates/parties/gifts.  I wanted to find a candy corn flavored dessert recipe that wasn't quite as sweet as just pure corn syrup and sugar. I found a lot of recipes, but this is very good and contains the real stuff.

This recipe is great because it can be completed in the microwave. It does require a little time for all that dipping, but you can stick it in the freezer in between dips. Now you can just eat the candy corn out of the bag for a purest, but this is sure good and so much more decorative! 
Approximately 32 Pops

• 1 lb Candy Corn
• 1 16 oz can creamy peanut butter
• 1 lb yellow candy melts
• 1/2 lb orange candy melts
• 1/4 lb white candy melts
• 32 Lollipop sticks
• Foam block for drying

1. Place candy corn in a microwave safe bowl.
2. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir and continue cooking in 30 second intervals until melted. Stir between each interval.
3. Stir in peanut butter until smooth. (The mixture will be thick and sticky and may look kinda gross but trust me, it’ll all come together!)

4. Spread mixture in a 8 x 8 pan lined with parchment or wax paper.
 *Tip: Use a square of parchment or wax paper to pat down and smooth out the mixture.
5. Refrigerate or place in freezer to allow it to cool completely.

6. Cut into 2 inch strips and cut each strip into triangles, with a one inch base.

7. Melt yellow candy melts according to package directions and place in a deep cup.
8. Dip lollipop stick into melted candy and insert into the bottom of each triangle and allow to dry completely. *Tip: Place dipped triangles on a cookie sheet and place in freezer for a few minutes to allow the candy to dry quickly.
9. Dip entire triangle into the melted yellow candy. Place your pop into a foam block to dry. For quick drying, place pops in the freezer for a few minutes
10. Melt orange candy and dip pops 2/3 of the way into the melted mixture. Place back in foam block to dry completely.

11. Melt the white candy and dip the tips into the melted mixture. Place back in the foam block to dry (I know, it’s a lot of dipping!).
After lots of dipping and drying, your pops are finally done!! They are a bit of work but so cute for Halloween. Look for Halloween ribbon at your local craft store and tie at the bottom of the candy stick.
