Although these bars are very easy to make, and they go together quickly, it is a waste of the time it takes to put them together if the highest quality ingredients aren’t used – especially make sure you don’t substitute anything for the butter. The buttery taste is prominent and perfectly complements the extra sweet candy corns and the not-too-sweet chewy base. Also, make sure you let these bars cool completely or they will be difficult to cut; the chewy-gooey parts need to set before cutting. After that, if there are leftovers, they can be stored in an airtight container for about a week.
