If ever there was a king of Halloween candy it's got to be candy corn. Love them or hate them they've been around since the 19th century and I think they're here to stay.
Candy corn may not be my personal favorite, they were normally the last things to be eaten from my trick-or-treat loot bag, but I think I've reinterpreted them in a fun way with these cupcakes. How great would these be for kids or kids at heart to make?
To make my life easy I used a mix for the cake. Don't judge! I grew up on them and look how I turned out...lol!
Now to the Halloween giveaway.....
