Ingredients:

3 c. Candy Corn
1 c. Smooth Peanut Butter
1, 14 oz. Can Sweetened Condensed Milk
2 c. White Chocolate chips
Dark Chocolate for Dipping (like Wilton Dark Chocolate Discs or Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Candy Coating)

Directions:

Line a 9×9 pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the candy corn and peanut butter. Stir occasionally. The peanut butter will start to melt and the candy corn will break down. When it gets to the point it looks like cookie dough texture, add in the sweetened condensed milk. Stir vigorously until everything is blended and the candy corn has melted into the mixture completely. It will get thick! Add the white chocolate chips and stir until the are fully melted and blended in with the mixture. Pour into the 9×9 pan and let cool completely. Cut into 1″ squares and drizzle or dip in dark chocolate.
