ISO butterfinger-like center recipe

[philso]

i'm not a candy making expert, but i'm thinking that taking some sugar to the hard crack stage, adding some peanut butter, pouring onto a buttered surface, buttering the top surface as well, and repeatedly folding like puff pastry might get me headed in the right direction.

anyone have an actual recipe or other suggestions??

thanks in advance

Not sure if you still need this or not, but I have this recipe. Perhaps it will help?

Butterfingers
1 Cup Peanut Butter
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
Melted Milk Chocolate
Cook syrup, sugar, and water to 310 F. Remove from heat.
Stir in warmed peanut butter (warm slightly in microwave)
until well blended. Pour into a greased (buttered) 8" X 8" pan.
Score mixture into desired size bars.
When COMPLETELY cool, dip in melted milk chocolate
(use a double boiler to SLOWLY melt) and set on wax paper
until chocolate has hardened.
