These candy corn hued cuties are easy and perfect for a Halloween party, or any fun reason to celebrate fall!
When you spend the entire weekend mulling over whether to be a Spartan cheerleader or Princess Peach, it’s about time to stop telling people you’re “just not into” Halloween. Seriously! For years I’ve been denying how much I really enjoy the day of jack-o-lanterns and draculas, but actually it’s a lot of fun! Well, the dress up part at least.
…Am I late to this game or what?
Along with the fall festivities creeping into my costume choices, I’ve also done a little decorating and bewitching baking! These cupcakes from McCormick’s great selection of Halloween recipes were too cute to pass up. But don’t worry – the candy corn name only comes from the cute colors, not the taste!
Keep it simple with a white cake mix, yellow and orange food coloring, vanilla frosting, and a few fun decorations. These candy corn hued cuties would be delish for an upcoming Halloween party or any other fun reason to celebrate fall!
Also – look out for a great big McCormick giveaway next week!
