These Candy Corn Magic Bars are perfect for Halloween! They have a graham cracker crust and are topped with white chocolate and peanut butter chips, coconut, and candy corn!
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.
How to make the perfect candy corn magic bars:
- 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.
- 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.
- If you can’t find peanut butter chips you can use butterscotch or more white chocolate.
- Add some chopped peanuts to make this taste like a payday candy bar!
- If your kids hate coconut you can leave it out.
I think this is the mood I’m in for Halloween!

Candy Corn Magic Bars
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
- 1 cup coconut
- 1 1/2 cups candy corn
- 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9x13” pan with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- I used a box of graham cracker crumbs, but if you only have actual graham crackers, process them in a food processor until they are a fine crumb. Stir into butter. Press into the bottom of your prepared pan.
- Sprinkle white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, coconut, and candy corn over the top. Pour sweetened condensed milk evenly over the top of the bars.
- Bake for about 25 minutes, until they get golden around the edges. Cool completely before slicing into bars.

Now this is what I call a TREAT Dorothy!!
I’m totally with you – I just don’t like candy corn by itself either. Which I guess is a good thing since it’s one less thing I want to snack on! haha These bars sound great!
Glad it’s not just me! I’d go through a whole bag a day if I was in love with it. 🙂
I don’t eat candy corn on its on either, not the business. But magic bars and candy corn.. now that is the business!! LOVE IT! And yes oct 1st what the heck?! How did that happen! I just got back from target and there are nestle festive chocolate chip bags with red and green morsels… oct, nov, dec seem to go by the fastest for me! Here we go 😉
YES! Christmas!! What the what now?
I used to barter my candy corn for candy bars. I just don’t get the obsession with candy corn, but these bars are super cute! What a fun way to use them!
These are magic bars! I know I could make them magically disappear! So yummy!
Eek! I think I just died – these look amazing Dorothy (I love candy corn. Like really, really love it).
Magic bars rule!! The sweetened condensed milk layer is my favorite! These are killer! I too need to get my Halloween thinking cap on. It’s time!
I’m SO not there yet!!
Great minds think alike…I have candy corn sitting here to make some sort of bar treat. I wasn’t thinking magic bars though…but now I totally am because these are so crazy good looking. And too sweet? Never!!!!
Ha, you’re the third person that’s told me that! 🙂
What a brilliant (and easy) Halloween treat!
