Candy Corn Petit Fours

So I haven’t gotten off the candy corn kick that started last week with the candy corn pretzel rods.  I decided I needed even more candy corn goodness in my life and made some candy corn petit fours.  These candy corn petit fours are a yummy bite size cake that tastes like your favorite halloween treat.These candy corn petit fours are a yummy bite size cake that tastes like your favorite halloween treat. - @lizoncall.com

Now I have never made petit fours before and I’m sure there are certain rules to make a true petit fours.  But in my mind mind, a bite size cake with frosting is considered a petit four. 🙂  So here is how I made these.

I started out with a yellow boxed cake that I baked according to the package instructions in a 9×13 inch pan.  Once it was cooled I crumbled it into a large bowl.These candy corn petit fours are a yummy bite size cake that tastes like your favorite halloween treat. - @lizoncall.com

Once the cake is crumbled, I added 2/3 cup frosting to the bowl and mixed it all together.These candy corn petit fours are a yummy bite size cake that tastes like your favorite halloween treat. - @lizoncall.com

I turned it out onto a piece of parchment paper and form a rectangle or square shape that was about 1 inch tall.  I wrapped it up and stuck it into the freezer to chill.These candy corn petit fours are a yummy bite size cake that tastes like your favorite halloween treat. - @lizoncall.com

I left it in the freezer for about an hour and then took it out and cut it into equal pieces.  This is only half of the cake/frosting mixture.  You should be able to get 24 bite sized cakes out of this recipe.  Place them back in the freezer until your candy melts are ready.

The idea of the candy corn petit fours started when I spotted these limited edition candy corn flavored candy melts at Michaels.  I love using candy melts to make fun holiday treats, so I couldn’t pass these up.These candy corn petit fours are a yummy bite size cake that tastes like your favorite halloween treat. - @lizoncall.com

I melted the candy melts in the microwave in a glass bowl.  Sometimes the candy melts, although completely melted, can be a little thick.  So I will add shortening, vegetable oil or paramount crystals (found in specialty stores) to the melted candy to help thin it out.  Just start with a little at a time until you get a consistency you can work with.  It’s amazing how the weather can affect the consistency of candy melts.These candy corn petit fours are a yummy bite size cake that tastes like your favorite halloween treat. - @lizoncall.com

You can either pour the candy melts over the cakes, or dip them into the candy melts to coat them.  Just top them with a candy corn and they are ready for your party!

Sometimes our food might not look as pretty, or perfect as we hope or like the picture, but with these little babies, it was all about the taste!  And they tasted so good!

I finally had to start passing them out to the neighbors.  It was too hard not to eat them all myself! 🙂

If you like candy corn inspired food like me, here are a couple other recipes you might enjoy:
