How to Make Candy Corn
Candy corn, either you love it or you hate it! This version tastes somewhat like the commercially made versions but it is a lot tastier.
It is easier to make than you think.
1 cup white sugar
2/3 cups light corn syrup
1/3 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup powdered milk
1/4 tsp salt
red and orange gel or paste food colour
Combine the powdered sugar, salt and powdered milk in a bowl, set aside.
In a medium sized saucepan, place granulated sugar, corn syrup and butter.
Stir and heat over medium heat until it comes to a gentle boil. Turn the heat up to medium/high and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the temperature reaches between 245-255 F. Most recipes on the interwebs tells you to heat to 230 F. I didn't have much success with that.
Once at temperature, take the pot off the heat and stir in the vanilla and the powdered sugar mixture. Stir until smooth.
Turn out onto a surface covered with foil, waxed paper or a silicone mat.
Divide into three portions. Tint one yellow and one orange by working food colour into the dough with a spatula.
Allow to cool enough so that you can handle it with your hands.
Follow methods outlined in video to get your candy corn pieces.
***if your dough get too hard too fast, place the pieces in the microwave for 5 seconds at a time until pliable****
Cut into pieces and allow to cool and dry at room temperature for a couple of hours. Store in an airtight container. The pieces may stick together slightly, but a gentle shake of the container with split them up nicely.
