One way I know that I am getting old is that I no longer like candy corn.
Like, it was only a couple years ago that I had one of my friends over to make those homemade butterfingers out of candy corn because our husbands said they didn’t like candy corn and we were all “WHAT?! YOU DON’T LIKE CANDY CORN?!”
So obviously, we needed to trick them into eating (and enjoying) candy corn.
But now, bleh.
I even bought all those fun ones that came out this year. Pumpkin Spice, Caramel something-or-another, S’mores.
Nope. Hated all of them.
But I do love regular foods dressing up to look like candy corn. I made these cookies a few years ago and I absolutely had to make these Candy Corn Pudding Pops this year because I’m currently eating Fudgesicles like it’s my job and I figured these were kind of close to that.
Super simple – you use box pudding mixes and then you just layer them in popsicle molds and freeze overnight. These don’t taste like candy corn (if you can find candy corn pudding, go for it) but I used a cheesecake pudding for the white layer (white chocolate would also work) and then french vanilla with food coloring for the other two layers.
They turned out super cute and my kids were obsessed.

What a fun treat!!! Love the layers…my mind is thinking of all the possibilities at every holiday! I have to admit that I still like candy corn, but not plain. I have to have peanuts and Reese’s Pieces with it now!

Miranda @ Cookie Dough & Oven Mitt says
Very cute pudding pops! I’m always drawn to the candy corn look alike food! I love pairing candy corn with salty treats, but I’m definitely more of a brach’s pumpkins kind of girl.

So creative! To me, candy corn tastes like wax and sugar – much prefer your version. ;)

My husband would eat candy corn year round if he could… Oh wait a minute, he does. I don’t care for it but love the colors. These popsicles look so fun and my 4 year old would go crazy for them.

Christiane - Taking On Magazines says
I’d love to get my hands on those Popsicles. They look and sound amazing. And just so you know, age has nothing to do with disliking candy corn! I’m 53 and I still love the stuff. I even still make vampire fangs with it too. Embarrasses my daughter, which makes it all worthwhile.
nicole @ I am a Honey Bee says
I would love these!!! I have never liked candy corn. I was afraid these would taste like it but so happy they don’t!!
Andi @ The Weary Chef says
These are very cute, and they will probably give me less of a stomachache than eating a handful of candy corn.
Carla says
I’m kinda the same way about candy corn. I used to be obsessed and eat bags of it during college. Now? Not so much. I don’t hate candy corn, but I haven’t bought a bag in a few years. Probably because I already have enough sugar in the house :D I do love the sound of these pudding pops though! (and I love those molds – I have the same one)
Sophia @ NY Foodgasm says
All of these are super creative! Shared! I haven’t made a Halloween recipe yet. Maybe this year!
