    I look forward to Halloween not because of the candy … ok it’s because of the candy! Anything with CANDY CORN must be good, thanks for sharing and good luck!

  2. natalie (the sweets life)

    your creativity never ceases to amaze me! I love anything with candy corn…yum!

  3. Audrey @ Sweet Cheeks Tasty Treats

    Love this idea! I make a Candy Corn Bark every year, but I think this would be an even bigger hit with the kiddos….I’ll have to file it away for the Little Monster Bash this year 😉

  4. Kelli

    You have some of the cutest ideas! I loved this one. I usually make a mix sort of like this at Christmas but with M&Ms. However, the pumpkins and candy corn just appeal to me like nothing else right now. Really great idea! Will have to try soon!

  5. FoodontheTable

    This is so awesome! I cannot wait to make this for Halloween. Everyone will go crazy, but I will tell them it was your idea. 🙂

  6. Heather

    So cute! I love the cupcake liners and mummy picks! And this would be eaten up very quickly in my house. Thanks Jenny for another great recipe!

  7. Chicago Cuisine Critique

    I think that would be gone in one day. Looks delicious. I am a sucker for the salty sweet combo. 🙂

  8. Jamie

    My husband would not be able to keep his hands off this mix. Candy corn and Autumn Mix is his favorite. Don’t you just love that white chocolate candy coating? I do!

  9. Liz @ LBBakes

    Yum! I told myself I couldn’t buy candy corn ’til October – luckily that’s just a few short days away now!

  10. Anna

    I make this every year, but I always add in the Halloween M&M’s. Reindeer Mix at Christmas is also a favorite.

  11. Jocelyn

    This looks dangerous…pretty sure I would eat it all! Loving the liners and mummy picks:-)

  12. Heather (Heather's Dish)

    this is adorable! i’m totally making this for church on sunday…the parents might kill me if the kids eat all that sugar, but it’s too cute!

  13. Ashlee

    Wow!! This looks amazing. I cannot wait to make these with my children one day. Do you like the silpat lined baking sheet? Saturday I made some Chicken Tortilla Soup in my crock-pot and used a liner for the first time. This made clean up so easy, all I did was throw it away. Thank you for your post. Have a great day.
