These Candy Corn & Peanut Bars are a fun treat for Fall!
Just 5 ingredients for a sweet treat.
Are you a grab by the handful candy corn and salty peanut kind of person?
I feel like most people ARE or they AREN'T. A love it or hate it kind of thing. Which side are you on? I like the combination because it has the perfect sweet to salty ratio.
But by golly, don't get stuck by that bowl for long, you may eat the whole darn thing. So, in a way to tell myself, "I'll only have one", I made these fun and easy bars!
If you've been around me for any amount of time you know I'm a big fan of simple and easy desserts, often ones with 10 ingredient or less, many with just 5!
Like these:
These bars are no exception....THEY ARE EASY.
The bottom layer is a simple combination of melted butter and graham cracker crumbs {a great traditional crust in my opinion}, then the candy corn pieces and salted peanuts get layered on....followed by a can of sweetened condensed milk. Just bake that all up and the result is stellar.
Some people call these Magic Bars.
For every good reason.
Just look at that bite.
These bars are sticky, sweet, ooey, gooey.....literally stick to your teeth good. The bottom crust mellows them out a bit and the edges get crispy and delicious.
