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 🙂
Happy baking!

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! 
We ran to our local grocery store and there on the shelves were these tasty little guys! I threw the recipe together and it smells SO good! We are patiently waiting until after dinner to dive in! Thanks for such a cute idea!!
We also decided they sort of taste like cotton candy flavored ice cream with white chocolate.. random? yes.
Look so goooood 🙂 we dont have candy corn kisses here, but the idea I will try with simular candy 🙂
Gorgeous!
hmmm, I wonder what the pumpkin kisses would taste like?! I might have to make two batches!
Kati,
Pumpkin Kisses would be incredible!! Hope you enjoy 🙂
*GASP*!! How cute! I love it! I love the colors of candy corn, so festive!!!
I am pretty certain I do not have a 11 x 7 inch baking dish. Can I just use a 9 x 13 inch one? And if so, how would I change the baking time? I really don’t want to go buy another pan and I don’t have room for one anyway. 🙂
Hi Stacey,
I think the 9×13 inch would be just fine. Your shortbread layer will be pretty thin and I would start checking it after 40 minutes of baking time. Keep your eye on it, it won’t take an hour like the smaller dish. Let me know how it turns out 🙂
I made a 1 1/2 batch of the shortbread part of the recipe so it wouldn’t be so thin. They are in the oven right now and I’m not sure if the brownie mixture is going to completely cover the kisses but I really don’t care. 🙂 I think they’ll be cute anyway and it won’t matter what they look like when they taste so dang good.
OMG… Those are the most adorable brownies I’ve ever seen! I looked at 2 Targets, 1 CVS, and 3 Walgreens and couldn’t find those adorable kisses ANYWHERE, though 🙁 I’m thinking that candy corn will work on the INSIDE, but I have no idea how to make orange frosting… ideas?
Oh my goodness, those look absolutely amazing. So I’m guessing the candy corn kisses just taste like white chocolate?
i dont like candy corn but i believe these would be delish with the pumpkin spice kisses you introduced me to last season! 🙂 yum
WHAT?! I didnt know candy corn kisses existed!? I was just at Walmart too! I WILL be making these; can’t wait!
These are amazing!!! So, so cute. I cannot even believe I didn’t know Hershey Kisses came in that variety. Must find immediately! And then crash a Halloween party so I can make these 🙂
Oh, I have to find those kisses – I haven’t seen them before, this recipe looks fantastic
Jenny, you have totally outdone yourself!! 🙂 Shortbread, brownies, plus a candy corn kisses chocolate topping?? *applause*
these colors together are PERFECTION!
Theses are just too adorable. I’m off to my local grocery store to see if they have these Hershey candies!
Oh how cute! Those would be a great addition to a fall party!
I’ve been waiting for your recipe using these kisses! I bought a couple bags a few weeks ago. I can’t wait to whip these up!
I made your pumpkin butterscotch brownies and they were a huge hit! Have a great day, Jenny and thanks for another awesome recipe! 🙂
OMG these look AWESOME!!!! So want to try them…any maybe substitute the peppermint Hershey’s kisses at Christmas!!
These are great Jenny! Love that you can see the candy corn when you cut into them. What a great treat for Halloween too.
This is such a fun idea! I hope I can find some of those cute kisses.
I haven’t seen Candy Corn Kisses around, but I’ll have to get some! Those are so cute!
These look beautiful and yummy! I am going to have to go out and find these kisses….was thinking the white chocolate/peppermint ones would be good for the Christmas season with a white/peppermint frosting!
These are so fun! I wish I had little ones that could eat up all of these Halloween treats. I sure don’t need them, but they are fun to look at!
You are a baking genius!
Those look so good!!! I would love to make those but do the kisses taste like candy corn or chocolate?
Hi Samantha,
Tastes mostly like white chocolate with a little candy corn kick 🙂 The nice thing is, you can use any flavor kiss you like! I already want to try the chocolate mint ones next!
I have never seen those kisses- they are gorgeous! Jenny this idea is brilliant. Love how you placed them on the bottom of the pan & they held their shape in these treats. Perfect! xo
Adorable…love them!
These look great and SO cute with those kisses peeking through! I have to ask, though…do the candy corn kisses taste like candy corn or are they just colored white chocolate?
Melissa,
I have to say, they don’t exactly taste like a traditional candy corn, but they are sooo good. They don’t taste like just white chocolate either, lol! You’ll have to try them and let me know what you think 🙂
That is so cute! Great idea!
These look so adorable. I love the orange!
These are adorable! Love.
Adorable! Completely adorable! Where can we get our hands on these kisses!? They’re so cute!
The Targets around here always carry them, good luck!
Those are just too beautiful! What a presentation. I’ll save this recipe and hopefully I can make them this season.. I better go get the kisses now though, they won’t be on the shelves for very long!
these are so cute! i’ve never seen the candy corn kisses
Hi Lauren,
Hope you can find some, I always get mine at Target 🙂
OH how cute are these?! They are just adorable. I love those kisses!
They look yummy! very moist!
