Happy Fall Y'all Candy Corn Flower Pops

The first day of Fall is almost here!

Or should I say, autumnal equinox?

We experience two equinoxes each year with the first one being in March and the other one in September. Equinox -or equal night- is when the entire earth will share roughly the same amount of daytime and nighttime! How cool is that?!

So to celebrate the changing of the season, of course we need a sweet treat. Then I found this adorable candy corn craft at the Resourceful Mama, and I thought it would make a fun and easy pop! It did!

I remembered that Bakerella made these flower cake pops a few years back. But mine involve melting the candies rather than placing them on a cake pop..soooo here they are!

This isn't the first time I've melted candy corn. Check out my Christmas Tree Pops for another fun treat! 

You will need candy corn-i prefer Jelly Belly brand as they melt better-Peanut M&Ms, and green lollipop sticks.

Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.

Place six candies on a parchment lined baking sheet.

Place in oven for five minutes. If after five minutes the candies aren't soft enough to insert lollipop stick, return to oven for just a few more seconds and try again.

 Remove from oven and immediately insert lollipop stick. Twist and twirl the stick to get a little of the melted candy to coat the stick so it will..well, stick!

Now place the M&M in the center of flower and press gently to set.

  Ahhh..these turned out so cute! Bright and sunny!

Thanks for stopping by today!

'til we sweet again, Karen💗

Candy Corn Christmas Tree Pops!

"O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging,
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me!"

That's how I feel about these candy corn Christmas tree pops! They make me happy and fill me with holiday cheer!

I'm going to go ahead and tell you now, I searched high and low with no luck for my Reindeer Corn. We must have had a run on it in my neck of the woods!

So, once again my sweet hubby came to the rescue.

He ordered my candy straight from Jelly Belly!
Yay for fast shipping!

Hopefully, you will have an easier time finding yours, 'cause you are so gonna wanna make these tree pops!

And that is just how it happened. They popped right into my head when I saw these adorable turkeys!

The fact that these need only five minutes in the oven and are decorated with store bought candies, means you will have plenty of time left over for the more important blessings that this season affords!

So let's get to it!

Reindeer or Christmas Candy Corn, lemon Starburst and candy sprinkles are the ingredients needed.

You will also need lollipop sticks..

..and star cutters for the tree topper.

Before you bake your trees, press and roll out yellow Starburst candies and cut the size stars you will need depending on the size trees you are making.

Pretty colored candy sprinkles, aka, Christmas tree lights.

Place your candy corn on a parchment lined baking pan as shown below making sure that candies are touching each other.

Gently-so as not to move the candies-place baking pan in oven. Bake 5 minutes @ 300 degrees ०F or just as the candies begin to melt.

Remove from oven and immediately twirl/twist/turn the lollipop stick to coat it with the melted candy.

While the candy is still soft and melty-fied, attach star and press in candy sprinkles.


To keep my candies from melting further on the hot pan, I lifted them off (parchment paper and all) with a large spatula to finish cooling on my counter.

Oh how cute these turned out!

Now to make these giftable and up the cuteness just a smidge, we're gonna wrap these in a cello bag and tie up with Christmas ribbon!

Wouldn't these be the merriest little addition to your Christmas party or goody bag?! How about giving your favorite bank teller one at the drive-thru..they've been giving us lollipops for years! 😉

While my oven was still hot and I was feeling crafty, I made this candy corn wreath and slipped some ribbon through it for a sweet and easy ornament!

 These colors!!

 Holly Jolly Lollipops!

Have a sweet day, Karen

Candy Corn Marshmallow Leaves

Candy Corn Marshmallow Leaves..

I had to make them. Homemade Candy Corn Marshmallows. I'm kinda stuck on the candy corn color theme. They are just so pretty and, ...well, Fall!

I also made these & these recently!

Today, I was attempting to make marshmallow pinwheels, but I just couldn't get the crazy things to stick together. Basically, I was left with a glob of unusable, albeit pretty marshmallow ribbon mess. (aka future rice krispie treats) I decided the remaining candy could be cute, cut into little tri-colored leaves. I like them!

 I used vanilla in the white marshmallows. I also used orange flavoring in the tinted layers of candy. It was my favorite. I would go ahead and flavor all the marshmallows orange..just to make 'em extra yummy. :o)

Well, you don't have to make three batches, but it does make it easier when you have this many colors. You could just make one batch and try swirling in the orange and yellow colors.

 Lightly spray your pan or dish with non-stick spray. Spread  finished batch of marshmallows in pan, adding each additional layer on top of the other. Let sit at least four hours or overnight.  Cover with parchment paper lightly sprayed with non-stick spray.

The next morning you have pretty sunrise colored marshmallows!

 Lift the marshmallow out of the pan and place on a cutting board prepared with confectioners sugar. This will prevent the candy from sticking to...everything. Using a lightly oiled pizza cutter or long, sharp knife, cut candy into ribbons. Then cut marshmallows into different shapes with fondant cutters. Leftover marshmallows are never wasted here..just make some yummy rice krispie treats.

Marshmallow Recipe

2 Tablespoons plus 1/2 teaspoon unflavored gelatin

1/2 cup cold water

2 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup light corn syrup 

1/2 cup hot water

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 large egg whites

1/2 teaspoon orange extract

1 teaspoon each yellow and orange food color gel

Mix gelatin and cold water in a small bowl, set aside.

In a heavy, straight sided sauce pan, mix together sugar, corn syrup, hot water and salt. 

Stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.

Continue cooking, without stirring, until mixture reaches soft-ball stage. (235 degrees)

Remove from heat, add gelatin (bloom) and set aside.

In mixer, with whisk attachment, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.

With mixer on low speed, carefully add the hot sugar mixture, flavor and color.

Turn mixer on high speed and continue mixing for 10 minutes.

Pour the candy into prepared pan, spreading evenly.

Cover with parchment paper lightly sprayed with non-stick spray.

Let stand four hours or overnight.

Candy Corn Spoons

Candy Corn Spoons!

Candy Corn Treats using Jelly Belly Candy Corn, Candy Corn M&Ms and Ghirardelli Chocolate.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are enjoying near perfect weather here in my neck of the woods. My daughter and I, along with my grandbabies, spent last week in Disney World. I LOVE Disney! We got a chance to see some of the cute treats they were making..and yes, I did sample a couple. My favorite was the Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cupcake.. mmmmmm. I can't wait to get in the kitchen and make some new Mickey treats. But for today, I made these sweet little spoons, 'cause I already have all this candy corn and all. :o)
p.s. These are great for a quick cup of hot chocolate!

 Orange spoons from Party City: $2.49

Jelly Belly Candy Corn..I love this stuff!

!OO!

 Supplies needed: Spoons, parchment paper, dipping chocolate, candy corn, Candy Corn M&Ms, mini M&Ms, confetti sprinkles, & Food Writers (to make the eyes and draw the mouths).

 Let chocolate set up before decorating with candies. Just use a bit of melted chocolate to attach the candies to the spoons.

(Remember to line pan with parchment paper for no sticking)

Rice Krispie Treats Sundaes!

 Rice Krispie Treats Sundaes!
Candy Corn flavored M&M Rice Krispie Treats to be exact!!

Do you love Candy Corn? Me TOO! Not only the sweet & sugary taste..but the colors. The orange and yellow are the very picture of fall, and I'm loving the preview of autumn temps we're getting here in Atlanta.

 As for the Candy Corn flavored M&Ms,

 I had never tried them.. until today. Yum-o-licious!!

Is that too corny? ;o)

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ahh..the happy colors! Besides the candies below (which include: Candy Corn M&Ms, Sixlets, Jelly Belly Candy Corn, Wilton Candy Melts, and Sprinkles), for your Rice Krispie Treats, you will need:

 Rice Krispies cereal, mini-marshmallows, butter, non-stick spray, and cupcake liners.

 I used the adorable yellow, Wilton Ruffled baking cups.

Don't you just love the Candy Corn M&Ms?

We can't forget the most important ingredient for a perfect sundae..Sprinkles! I found these sweet little ones at Target in a variety shaker. LOVE!

Ain't he cute? :o)
Candy Corn Face!

I used the entire bag of M&Ms in the Rice Krispie Treats.

 I chopped only part of the candies leaving the others whole. 

Melt the butter on low heat, add the bag of marshmallows stirring until melted. Stir in the M&M candies, then the cereal.  I sprayed a little non-stick spray on my hands before forming the cereal mixture into balls.

The pretty liners..

These really are quite tasty! But..as with ALL Rice Krispie Treats, they are best served as fresh as possible.

 By that, I mean WARM! 

Add your yummy toppings. Melted orange Candy Melts,

candy corn, sixlets, sprinkles and a sweet m&m on top.

 M&Ms Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

10 oz. bag mini-marshmallows

4 tablespoons butter

1 9.9oz. bag Candy Corn flavored M&Ms

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On low heat, melt butter. Add marshmallows, stirring until melted. Remove from heat. Mix in candy and then stir in cereal.  

Form into balls. Melt orange Candy Melts. Top treats with the melted candy and toppings.

ENJOY!

Happy Fall Y'all!
