Homemade Butter Fingers Treats

Prepare a baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, covering the entire surface to prevent sticking and make removal easy.

Combine candy corn in a microwave-safe container, taking care not to use plastic bowls as they may melt or warp during the heating process. Heat in short intervals, stirring after each 30-second cycle, until the candy corn reaches a warm and melted state.

Once the candy corn is fully incorporated with peanut butter, blend them together until a smooth and consistent mixture forms. Pour this candy mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it firmly into all corners to ensure an even layer.

Melt chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in a double boiler set over simmering water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Once the chocolate reaches a warm and melted state, pour it over the peanut candy mixture in the baking dish.

Allow the chocolate-covered candy to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until it has set and become firm. After this time, cut the candy into squares for serving.
