Homemade Candy Corn Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 2 1/2 cups powdered milk

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 2/3 cup light corn syrup

• 5 tbsp unsalted butter

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• Food coloring (yellow & orange)

Instructions:

1. Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and powdered milk. Set aside.

2. Heat wet ingredients: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and butter. Stir constantly until the mixture comes to a boil. Let it boil for about 3-4 minutes.

3. Combine & flavor: Remove from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a dough forms (be careful — it’s hot!).

4. Cool slightly & divide: Let the dough cool enough to handle, then divide it into 3 equal parts.

   • Leave one white

   • Add yellow food coloring to one part

   • Add orange food coloring to the third part

5. Shape the candy corn: Roll each color into ropes and press them side by side (white, orange, yellow). Flatten slightly, then cut into triangles.

6. Let it set: Place pieces on wax paper and let them dry for 1-2 hours.

TIPS:

• Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

• Use gloves when adding food coloring to avoid stained han
