Autumn Flavors

There’s something about seeing candy corn neatly stocked on store shelves each fall isn’t it? It’s like a firm reminder that autumn has arrived and the holiday season is upon us. That thought always makes me happy and moves candy corn up the baking ingredient ladder for me. Finding unique and unexpected ways to incorporate it into sweets has become one of my favorite baking projects each year.

These candy corn laced cookie bars are drizzled with white chocolate to guild the lily and provide the sweet glue for the sprinkles on top. Once they cool, cut them into small squares to showcase the colors and be certain to store any leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container. If there are any leftovers. Looking for a sweet treat in a hurry? Goodies like my seen on Parade candy corn truffles and chocolate dipped Scotcheroo bon bons require no baking at all.
