❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use natural peanut butter?
A: We don’t recommend it—the oil separation can create a greasy texture. Conventional creamy peanut butter works best.
Q: Why candy corn?
A: When melted, candy corn creates that signature crispy, flaky texture that makes Butterfingers unique!
Q: Can I make these without a microwave?
A: Yes! Melt the peanut butter and candy corn in a saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
Q: How far ahead can I make these?
A: They keep beautifully for 2 weeks at room temperature or 1 month in the refrigerator.
