KISSES Candy Corn Pixies

Have you tried the Hershey Kiss Candy Corn flavor? It's pretty much white chocolate, but still not bad. Don't be confused -- it's no replacement for candy corn! But this looks pretty tasty...

Candy Corn on the Cob Cake

Alex @RDtoBe on Twitter shared with me a great looking recipe for a Candy Corn on the Cob Cake from FoodTV.com

How cool is that? It's basically a jelly-roll cake with vanilla frosting, candy corn, and green fondant. Sounds like a great weekend cake project to make!

Candy Corn Float

I've run across a lot of interesting candy corn recipes, but never a Candy Corn Float.

It's pretty much an ice cream float with orange juice! Interesting. Check out the full recipe from the League of Reluctant Adults.

Candy Corn Sugar Cookies

I'm not sure I'd be a big fan of candy corn looking cookies. Mostly it's because I don't think my senses could handle it.

I see candy corn but taste cookie.

I anticipate wax but get crumble.

But I have to admit this is kinda cool. I mean, what's not to like about a sugar cookie?

It looks easy enough. Just divide a batch of sugar cookie dough into thirds, color them, layer them, cool them, cut them, bake them.

The Recipe Girl has more details. Have you tried it?

Vegan Candy Corn Recipe

I've never had this, but I'm seeing it all over the internets. So I thought I'd reproduce the recipe here from The Urban Housewife.

Vegan Candy Corn

• 1 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup corn syrup (preferably organic, avoid high fructose corn syrup!)
• 5 tablespoons Earth Balance (or other vegan margarine)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/3 cup powdered soy milk
• a pinch of sea salt
• Red & yellow food coloring

In a large saucepan, bring the sugar, corn syrup, Earth Balance, & vanilla to a boil over high heat.

Reduce the heat to medium & boil the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 5 minutes, remove from heat.

Sift the powdered sugar, powdered soy milk, & salt into medium bowl.

Add the powdered sugar mixture to pan & stir to combine.

Let the mixture stand until slightly warm to touch, about 20 minutes.

Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces.

Consider putting on rubber gloves, so you don't stain your hands. Add several drops of yellow food coloring to one piece of dough & knead food coloring into the dough until smooth and color is even. Repeat using red & yellow food coloring (for orange) with the second piece & leave the last piece white, but knead it until smooth. This isn't an easy task & could take up to 15 minutes!

Roll each piece into ropes of equal length (don't roll too thin or the dough will break) and push the three ropes together to form a long rectangle.

Using sharp knife, cut the ropes into triangles. Some will be white tipped & some will be yellow tipped.

Shape the candy corn as desired!

Thanks again to The Urban Housewife for the recipe. I recommend going to her page for more details.

Howling Candy Corn Cookie Bark

Now this is an interesting recipe I've found. I love 'bark candy' and this sounds great. Except I'd probably leave the raisins out (don't like the soft mixed with the hard)

• 16 Halloween OREO Cookies (coarsely chopped)
• 1-1/2 cups Mini Pretzel Twists (coarsely broken)
• 1/3 cup Raisins
• 2 (6-ounce) pkgs White Baking Chocolate
• 1/2 cup Candy Corn
• 1/4 cup Brown and Orange Candy Sprinkles

Spread cookies, pretzels and raisins onto 13x9 inch lightly greased baking sheet or pan.

Place chocolate in small heavy saucepan. Cook on low heat until completely melted, stirring constantly. Drizzle over cookie mixture.

Spread with spatula to evenly coat all ingredients. Top with candy corn and sprinkles. Lightly press into chocolate mixture to secure.

Cool until firm, then break into pieces. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Makes 20 servings, about 1/3 cup each.

Candy Corn Mixed Drinks?

Wow! I already know what wine goes best with candy corn, but there are also several mixed drink libations if one were so inclined.

Candy Corn Cocktail

• 1 part cream
• 1 part Licor 43 liqueur
• 1 part Triple Sec or 1 part Orange Curacao liqueur

Note: I've been told to layer the liquids with the Licor 43 on bottom, then the Orange Curacao or Triple Sec, then the cream on top (of course).

Or if you're looking for something a little more complex, try the Candy Corn Drink with Vodka or the Candy Corn Martini!

Have you ever tried a candy corn drink?

Candy Corn Recipe

Have you ever made home-made candy corn? I never have, but might just try it. I've looked around the internets and the same formula keeps coming up for how to make candy corn:

Home-made Candy Corn

• 1 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup white corn syrup
• 1/3 cup butter
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/3 cup powdered milk
• food coloring

Combine sugar, butter, and corn syrup in pan and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Turn heat low and boil 5 minutes. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat and add vanilla.

In a separate dish, combine powdered sugar, salt, and powdered milk. Add all at once to the mixture in the pan. Add food coloring if desired. Stir until cool enough to handle. Shape as desired.
