So, now that it's September, is it too soon to start thinking about Halloween treats? Because MY grocery store has had candy corn out for over a month now. And since I have been enjoying this orange and yellow treat, I feel like you should too! It's only fair.
Chewy Candy Corn Nutter Butter Bars
This is really just a fancy version of one of my favorite treats: Candy Corn and Salted Peanuts! Or "Nuts 'n Corn!"
Have you ever made Rice Krispies Treats? Then you can make these!
I'm almost embarrassed to give you a "recipe" for these. They are so easy! But the sweet and salty together is soooo good. Plus, who doesn't love peanut butter?
Chewy Candy Corn Nutter Butter Bars
makes 16 bars
1 lb package Nutter Butters
1 C candy corn
4 T butter
6 C marshmallows
Place one row of the Nutter Butters in the food processor and pulse a few times. Blend until cookies are turned into crumbs. Break up remaining row of cookies into large chunks. In a large bowl, melt butter and marshmallows together in microwave, stirring occasionally. Once melted, add Nutter Butter crumbs and chunks and stir together. (This will be thick and a little tough to stir. Don't worry, you're doing it right.) Pour about 3/4 C candy corn into mixture and stir to combine. Pour mixture into 8X8 baking dish that has been sprayed with Baker's Joy. Top cookie bars with remaining 1/4 C candy corn. Let cool completely before cutting.
Look at the cookie pieces! Yum!
These festive treats would be great at a fall festival.
Or for a Halloween party!
Just make sure you invite me over when you make them. I'm already say they are gone!

I am sooooo looking forward to making these for the kids this Halloween. I'll probably be eating most of it myself once they've gone to sleep. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for fall, especially halloween! Can't believe these bars only have 4 ingredients, but they do look tasty. I'll admit that the extreme close up photo had a big influence. Yum!
