One of my all time favorite candies around this time has to be candy corn. That is why I was especially stoked when I found a recipe to do your own at http://mobile.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/10/how-to-make-homemade-candy-corn-halloween-recipe.html . They are amazing and super fun to make!
You will need:
1 cup cup of sugar
2/3 cup of corn syrup
1/3 cup butter
2 1/4 cup confectionery sugar
1/3 cup powdered milk
1 tsp. Vanilla
Yellow and Red coloring
Start out by placing the confectionery sugar and powdered milk in small bowl and set aside.
Then, in a pot place sugar, syrup and butter on high. Bring to a boil and stir continuously. Now turn down to medium and let cook for 5 minutes. Still stirring occasionally. Once thats done turn off and add vanilla. Remove from heat and add set aside mixture to sugar mixture. Let cook for 30 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
Split the dough into 3 parts. Add yellow and red coloring to one piece, and just yellow to another. The third will just stay the way it is. I placed mine in seran wrap while I was meshing the color into the dough.
Take the three pieces out and roll each one each individually. Now set them side by side and take a rolling pin, roll gently to mesh them together. Then take a knife and start cutting triangles. Tada! There you have it, yummy candy corn!
Tip: Keep them in the fridge if you want then to keep better shape. In Arizona it's always a challenge to keep my candy or chocolate creations in tact. :)
