Oh my, this brownie may go down in history as one of the best most sinful treats ever! This shortbread layer at the bottom makes for a buttery delicious addition that is just too good to pass up. AND how cute are the kisses hidden inside.
Ok, just stop and go make a batch, you are going to love these this weekend! Hurry and grab a bag of Candy Corn Kisses before they are all gone! If you absolutely cannot get your hands on them, any of your favorite kiss flavor will do 🙂

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
I have a question about the recipe. Do you make your brownies per the “fudgey” or “cakey” directions?
oops….by “these” I mean the candy corn kisses….not the brownies –
anyone know if these are still being made? I called my local Target and they don’t have them. I also checked Amazon and nothing. Wondering how those little pumpkin shaped candy corn would work….
Couldn’t find candy corn Kisses, but I made these with some pumpkin spice Kisses I found. Turned out pretty good! Although I really just wanted to make these so I could cut them up and see the pretty cross sections like in your pictures. So on that count, candy corn Kisses would have been better.
I was wondering about the fork/spoon thing…Are they regular size and where did you find them? I have been looking for that style for months!THanks, Hannah
Hi Hannah
I found the silverware at World Market but it was a year or so ago. Doesn’t hurt to check it out 🙂
I’m currently making these with the candy cane kisses (which are my absolute favorite). I can’t wait to see how they come out.
This is a beautiful treat and perfect for fall! I’ve never even heard of candy corn kisses…amazing!
What a creative brownie! Love how festive it is!
So festive!!
I made these for a Halloween party (i found the kisses at Target). They came out GREAT! you couldn’t see the kisses the way I cut them, but I’m not the best cook so that’s probably why. But they were awesome!
Mmmm, found your site a few days too late (for this treat for Halloween). These would have been perfect for my daughter’s halloween party at school!
Whoa – this looks sinfully delicious!!!!
I LOVE this idea. I looked everywhere for the candy corn kisses though and they must be sold out. Plus it’s the day before Halloween…oops. So right now it’s in the oven with the caramel kisses. We’ll see how it tastes! Do you think I can use them as frosting too?
Ok So I made these last night and they tasted incredible!!! However my kisses melted into my brownie and didn’t have the awesome color like yours. 🙁
I made these for my co-workers and book group members they loved them!!!!
So easy to make and so decadent to eat…perfect!
Thank you for this great recipe!!!!
These are SO adorable. I am making them tonight for my trunk or treat party tomorrow…sure they will be a huge hit and can’t wait to try them with peppermint kisses at Christmas time! Thanks!
These are adorable! The brownie layer looks like fudge. I’ve been too busy to bake lately, but I’m heading to the store for these ingredients now. All my teacher friends will be so happy on Monday! 🙂
get out, this is a-mazing! I didn’t even know they made candy corn kisses – must.find.now. happy halloween!
Those look incredible!!!! What a creative idea! So festive!
Jenny my dear, you are amazing! LOVE IT!
Oh my gosh! What an awesome dessert! I’m going to have to make this and bring it to a dinner party!!! Thank you for sharing *clap, clap, clap* 😀
I am obsessed with all things candy corn right now, and these are too cute!!
These are amazing! So creative!
HOLY WOW!!!!!!!!! these look amazing. I had no idea there was even such a thing as candy corn kisses. I MUST FIND THEM AND MAKE THESE BROWNIES!!!
How cool are those candy corn kisses. It’s like a hidden treasure in the brownies. They look crazy good.
So cute. I never think to go to Target. You always do!! I’ll be better about that at Christmas-time when those yummy Candy Cane kisses come out!
These are adorable, so festive for Halloween! Love the orange and yellow peaking through from the hidden Kisses.
The Target by my work is sold out of all seasonal Kisses so then I have to hunt them down when I get home. I got 2 bags of pumpkin spice and 2 bags of candy corn Kisses! Hopefully that will last me! 🙂
I should also add that I can’t wait to try these with the Christmas mint Kisses too!
Made them. Ate them. Love them! Thanks for sharing this recipe. I never would’ve considered the combination.
Love all the recipes you are posting. But, getting annoyed I am excited to try them and cannot find the kisses you are using. Cant find these or the pumpkin spice. Everywhere I called said they were sold out or never carried them 🙁 Tried 3 Target’s and Farm Fresh (a local grocery store). Any other ideas?
