HALLOWEEN CANDY RECIPES

HOMEMADE CANDY CORN

What taste better represents Halloween season then candy corn? We found this recipes for the basic candy, you can do anything with the shape or coloring of it. We've tried letting it cool and rolling it out to about a quarter of an inch thickness, using small Halloween cookie cutters to make shapes and using food color paste to make a water glaze to paint on designs. What ever you do with it, it tastes great!

Ingredients:
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
Yellow & Orange paste food coloring

Combine the sugar, butter, and corn syrup in sauce pan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Turn heat down and boil for 5 minutes, still stirring every few seconds. After 5 minutes remove from heat and add vanilla.

In a separate bowl, combine powdered sugar, salt, and powdered milk. Add all at once to the mixture in the sauce pan. Stir until well mixed and cool enough to handle. You can now do your shaping into little candy corn shapes. You can paint colors on them after they are cool, using paste food color glaze and a small brush or leave them white. You can also add one color to the mixture during the adding of dry ingredients.

Another idea for shaping it to roll out a layer on waxed paper and use small Halloween cookie cutters to cut into shapes.

Makes 1 3/4 pounds of candy.
