Candy Corn Cupcakes
Candy corn is one of the most iconic Halloween candies. Most people associate candy corn with Halloween. That's why candy corn cupcakes make the perfect Halloween treat. These cupcakes aren't actually made with candy corn, and they don't taste like candy corn. They are called candy corn cupcakes because they are yellow, orange and white, just like candy corn. Candy corn is used to decorate the tops of the cupcakes. These are fantastic cupcakes to serve on Halloween night, at a Halloween party or on Thanksgiving.
