Candy corn cupcake bites!

I have to be honest with you, I don't like candy corn. They're like little bullets of sugar with not a whole lot of flavor. BUT, I do really like how they look! And I can't deny the fact that they are symbolic for this time of year. So with that being said, I set out to make a cute treat that would resemble the adorable little candy yet taste so much better.

My solution? Candy corn cupcake bites! These mini cupcakes were such a hit when I brought them in for work today. Everyone kept asking what bakery we brought them in from. When they found I made them, everyone wanted the recipe!

Well hang on to your broomsticks because you'll never believe how easy this really was...

Ingredients:

• 1 box (yes box) white cake mix


• Ingredients required for box mix (mine was 3 egg whites, 1/4 veg oil, 1 1/3 cup water)


• red and yellow food coloring


• 1 can (yes can) white frosting
• Candy corn for decoration

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Prepare cake batter as directed on the box
• Seperate batter into two different bowls
• Add food coloring to each bowl of batter until you reach desired orange and yellow colors
• Line your mini cupcake pan with cupcake liners
• Pour yellow batter first into your mini cupcake liner. Then SLOWLY add orange batter on top
• Bake as directed (about 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean)

• Once the mini cupcakes has cooled completely, add a swirl of white frosting and a cute little candy corn for decoration.

How fun! These were the perfect bite sized treat. And if you like the way the layered cupcakes look, you should try my rainbow cake. It was a huge hit too!

Happy Halloween!
