Try These 6 Spooky Recipes Featuring Candy Corn

Candy corn is, undeservingly, very polarizing. How could you not enjoy it? After all, it's a very palatable blend of marshmallow and vanilla. The only reason it gets a bad rap is its corn shape, which has zero effect on flavor, as previously mentioned.

We're candy corn lovers and proud. And we'll celebrate Halloween by making some of our favorite recipes featuring the spooky treat. If you, too, can't get enough of it, continue reading to see what we have in store.

Candy Corn Fudge by Princess Pinky Girl

This recipe from Princess Pinky Girl is the mega-sized version of candy corn. Like the real thing, you'll get three layers of white, orange and yellow with a creamy vanilla flavor profile. We didn't realize how similar candy corn's soft, chewy texture is to fudge, and that's probably why it works so well.

Candy Corn Jello Cups by The Joy-Filled Kitchen

If you're not super into candy corn, you'll still enjoy this recipe. As the author writes, "I am not a fan of candy corn, but these festive candy corn jello cups are too good to pass up."

This recipe has a layer of lemon-flavored jello, orange-flavor jello and condensed milk to recreate its iconic stripes. So, the taste won't be similar, but it will be fruity and delicious.
