CANDY CORN BROWNIES: National Candy Corn Day!

I love Candy Corn. It just screams Halloween! Not surprising then that today is National Candy Corn Day! According to the National Confectioners Association, 20 million pounds (9000 tons) of candy corn is sold annually. Want to try making your own Candy Corn? Jessie Oleson (aka Cakespy) has a great recipe for Homemade Candy Corn. 

There are so many ways to incorporate Candy Corn with Chocolate. Here's an easy recipe for Candy Corn Brownies. In a rush? Use a brownie mix and just when pulling brownies out of the oven, pour candies over the top. Push down lightly so they sink into the soft brownies.
