October is next week. Um, what? I’m at a loss for words over the fact that it’s OCTOBER that soon.

October means Halloween. Which means I need to start turning out Halloween treats. Witches, Ghosts, Pumpkins, Eyeballs. Problem is…every time I start thinking Halloween I’m coming up crickets.

So, until I get my cutesy inspiration back, I’m going to stick with my black t-shirt of goodies: the magic bar.

Specifically Candy Corn Magic Bars. A seven-layer magic bar made with candy corn. So it’s perfect for Halloween!

I am one of those people who doesn’t really like candy corn straight up. I like it in things…like mixes or cookies or fudge, snack mix or bark. But alone, it’s not my favorite. Actually, it’s those dreaded two words…too sweet.

But no. When you add it to magic bars, it’s not too sweet. All that other sugar cuts the sweetness. Or…something. 🙂 Plus, peanuts or peanut butter (or peanut butter chips) go so well with candy corn, like when you make Butterfinger Fudge or Payday Fudge.

Candy Corn Magic Bars are perfect for Halloween because they’re full of candy corn and sweetness!

Let’s talk about the layers in these perfect Halloween Magic Bars!

  • Graham cracker crust: you can use a box of graham cracker crumbs or make your own!
  • White chocolate chips
  • Peanut butter chips: peanut butter and candy corn go so well together!
  • Coconut: a magic bar staple, but you can substitute peanuts
  • Candy Corn, obviously
  • Sweetened Condensed Milk, what makes the magic happen!

These magic bars are way too good. Addicting, even. The candy corn is so pretty on the top. These would be a wow at a Halloween party…or just because you want to eat them.

Candy Corn Magic Bars are PERFECT for Halloween! They have a graham cracker crust and are filled with white chocolate, peanut butter chips, and lots of candy corn!

How to make the perfect candy corn magic bars:

  1. Be sure to use fresh candy corn, not the stuff that’s been in your pantry for a year. It’ll get meltier and not be hard after baking.
  2. If you’re worried about the candy corn, you can add it after baking but I’ve made this several times and it’s not been hard.
  3. If you can’t find peanut butter chips you can use butterscotch or more white chocolate.
  4. Add some chopped peanuts to make this taste like a payday candy bar!
  5. If your kids hate coconut you can leave it out.

I think this is the mood I’m in for Halloween!

    1. I just had a total duh moment. I forgot to thank you for linking up my candy corn cupcake cake. Thank you so much 🙂

  1. Seriously peanut butter and candy corn you get a butterfingers flavor, I’m headed to the kitchen right now!!

  2. Dorothy, these Candy Corn Magic Bars are stinkin’ cute for Halloween and so clever! Love all the Fall colors in these bars. Thanks for sharing, girl. Pinning!

  3. The Peanut Butter Cookie Pops in a cup of candy corn and Butterfinger Fudge are sooooo cute (or, as the 10year olds these days like to say, “totes adorbs”). I’ll have to make them for Halloween! Thanks, Dorothy – you are so inspired ( and great photography, by the way).

  4. I’m not fan of candy corn either. I’ve never baked it with however … new concept! “Maybe all that other sugar cuts the sweetness” -> too funny! I love it! Please, don’t stop making magic bars; they are one of my favorites! So easy and such a decadent result. These are so pretty, too, your pictures are gorgeous. Curious, did you change the color of each letter individually? I’ve tried that once, but I could never get them all to align right:) All in all, an awesome recipe Dorothy!

  5. Omg you stole my idea! 🙂 Well, not really, but TODAY I just picked up some candy corn and was going to make some bars with it. Wasn’t quite sure where I was going with my recipe, but I know I won’t be making Magic Bars now…but gosh, I kind of want to! They look SO GOOD. Sevenlayer/magicbars are my jam. I l love them, hugely. These would be dangerous to have around. Pinned! And like you, I don’t eat CC by itself much but baking with it is so fun!
