Kraft Peanut Butter Bar Candy Bites Recipe And Kraft Foods #BlogEats Giveaway

Back in October I was fortunate to be able to attend the Kraft BlogEats Conference in Chicago. At the conference I met some great bloggers.

We ate some great food, learned about some of Kraft’s current and new products, participated in a recipe challenge (more on that shortly), and even submitted names for a Kraft dish. The recipe we were submitting names for ended up being called Peanut Butter Bar Candy Bites. Here’s the recipe.

Peanut Butter Candy Bar Bites

Prep Time: 15 min. plus refrigerating | Makes: 32 servings.

What You Need

• 1 pkg. (16 oz.) candy corn (2-1/3 cups)
• 1 jar (16.3 oz.) PLANTERS Creamy Peanut Butter
• 1/2 cup crushed corn flakes
• 2 pkg. (8 squares each) BAKER’S Semi-Sweet Chocolate

Make It

LINE 8-inch square pan with foil, with ends of foil extending over sides. Microwave candy corn in large microwaveble bowl sprayed with cooking spray on HIGH 1 min.; stir. Continue microwaving until candy is completely melted, stirring every 15 sec. Immediately stir in peanut butter and crushed cereal until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
PRESS firmly onto bottom of foil-lined 8-inch square pan; cool completely.
USE foil handles to remove cereal mixture from pan; cut into 32 bars. Melt chocolate as directed on package. Dip bars in chocolate; place in single layer in shallow waxed paper-lined pan. Refrigerate 1 hour or until chocolate coating is firm.

Peanut Butter Candy Bar Minis:
Cut into 48 bars instead of the 32 bars.
Kraft Kitchens’ Insider Tip:
To lessen the chance of crumbling, the cereal mixture is cut into bars while still at room temperature prior to dipping them in the melted chocolate.

Note:
If any melted chocolate remains after all the bars are coated, store it in a tightly covered container at room temperature until ready to use for another use.
