There’s nothing better than a new season that brings about all your childhood favorites and those mild food addictions that come around only once a year. Candy corn is exactly one of those addictions. Every fall those little fudgy tri-colored candies begin popping up everywhere. However, there’s more than one way to enjoy these sweet morsels, and grabbing handfuls of them is just one of many options. Next time you grab a bag or five, try some of these fall-tastic recipes to keep your cravings satisfied. You only have one season to indulge, so you might as well do it right!
These oh-so-buttery and sweet cookies present the perfect medium for delivering candy corn into your diet.

While these aren’t made WITH candy corn (although, nobody is stopping you from making them a donut topper!), these donuts have that same sweet fudgy texture in the frosting and of course the appearance of candy corn.

With every season comes a new “limited edition” Oreo or two that just basically forces us all to buy a bag, or two, or three. With fall comes the candy corn Oreos, and well…nothing beats an Oreo truffle!
