The spookiest holiday is right around the corner, which means it’s time to grab the mixing bowls and sweet ingredients and head to the kitchen.
Aside from the basic ingredients needed to build any delectable treat, this time of the year calls specifically for candy corn.
There are a wide variety of treats bakers can make with classic candy corn. Here are two simple recipes to try that can even get the kids involved!

Directions:
1. Line an 8×8 baking sheet with thin paper and lightly grease with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Spread the cookies and pretzels in the bottom of the pan.
3. Melt chocolate over a pan of boiling water.
4. Stir the chocolate until melted. Remove from the heat while there are still a few chunks, and stir until smooth.
