Grease an 8 x 8 inch pan with shortening. Line with 2 pieces of parchment paper, one in each direction, greasing in between.
Place peanuts in a food processor; pulse until ground into fine pieces.
Heat peanut butter in the microwave for 20 seconds on 50% power to warm; stir.
In another bowl, melt candy corn in 30 to 40 second increments on 50% power, stirring between each heating. Once melted, stir in peanut butter.
Immediately turn out onto a sheet of parchment paper; form into a rectangle a little larger than the pan. Doesn't need to be exact. Press the peanuts into the mixture. Fold into thirds, like a letter.
Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangle of about the same size as before. Press cornflakes on top, crushing them as you do. Fold into thirds in the same manner. Roll flat. Fold into thirds again.
Once more, roll flat into a square about the size of the pan. Press into the pan, smoothing with your hands. Allow the mixture set up about 15 minutes.
Lift out of the pan. Cut into 24 pieces. Place on a wire rack and let cool completely.
Once cool, melt chocolate wafers as directed on the package. Dip and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
Let chocolate set up before storing or packaging.
Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
24 servings.
