I have a confession to make... I love candy corn! I know...how many

adults will actually admit that, right? But every year when Halloween rolls around I splurge on a bag of candy corn and try to make it last all month! Well, when I heard about the new M&M's White Chocolate Candy Corn candies I was thrilled!

We always keep a candy bowl or jar in the house to offer guests and to nibble on

throughout the day. What's in the candy jar varies depending on what season and holiday is around the corner. Now that we're into October, I really wanted something special to hold our Halloween M&M’s White Chocolate Candy Corn Candy...and here she is...

When I was challenged to make a recipe using the new M&M’s White Chocolate Candy Corn

Candies I debated what kind of recipe to make. I love the idea of Candy Corn M&M’s, because it is like combining two great candies into one. I finally decided to use the Candy Corn M&M’s to flavor pudding and make a layered Trifle.

M&M’s has a brand new flavor- M&M’s White Chocolate Candy

Corn. I’ve talked about them, because I was on a desperate hunt. They are exclusive to Walmart, and I went one day to get supplies to make my craft and couldn’t find them. So I went to the other Walmart, where again, I had no luck. Finally I found them and got my craft on!

If you love M&M’s and candy corn then I have great news M&M’s has just come out with a new flavor for the fall season M&M’s Candy Corn White

Chocolate Candies. I knew I wanted to make bark with them and replace the candy canes I use at Christmastime for a more Halloween themed treat. I also wanted to make some other kind of yummy desert creation. These candies are delicious on their own but they are also great for cooking so you can replace the original M&M’s in your cookie recipe or try one of these delicious new recipes I came up with. You can even melt them to create a delicious chocolatey candy corn flavoring.

The new M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate candies just hit shelves in my Walmart and I picked up several bags because

(hello!) candy corn, yum, white chocolate double yum! So far I’ve made Halloween Bark, M&M’s cookie sandwiches, and now some M&M’s cheesecake bites.

Sara WellensiekCake Plate & Treat Bags

I was recently given a chal lenge to cre ate a craft with the new M&M’s White Choco late Candy Corn

Can dies and you know I couldn’t resist! My mind has been spin ning with all kinds of fun recipes and crafty ideas! In fact, almost as soon as we bought them, I made M&M’s Candy Corn White Choco late Macadamia Nut Cook ies!! And, they are seri ously SOOOooooo good! So, with all the fun treat pos si bil-i ties you could make with these M&M’s, I decided a themed “cake plate” was defi nitely in order. It was per fect for the cookies!

Meghan Cooper Chewy Homemade Granola Bars

Iam excited to share this recipe with you! M&M’s came out with their newest flavor for the

Halloween season–M&M’s White Chocolate Candy Corn. When I was thinking of all the things you can make with M&M’s you think of cookies and candies but I bet you wouldn’t think about Granola Bars. It’s a healthy option to a month filled with candies.

If you asked me to rank my top favorite

candies, M&M's would make the short list. No wonder when I saw an opportunity with Collective Bias to come up with a recipe using a NEW M&M’s White Chocolate Candy Corn Candies, I jumped at the chance. 19for complete directions visit:http://www.pensieve.me/2011/10/candy-corn-jello-with-mms-candy-corn-white-chocolate-candies-.html

Melanie Roberts Halloween Cookies in a Jar

Each year we try to make some fun Halloween Gifts for our Teachers and even neighbors; we call them “Boo”

Gifts. This year I wanted to include the brand new White Chocolate Candy Corn M&M’s. I love white chocolate, and to be honest, it was my excuse to snag a bag and eat them all by myself.

The mission? Create an original recipe using the new White Chocolate Candy Corn M&M’s. Did I accept it?

You know I did! I love cooking, baking and recipes. Game on! I WILL say that I have chocolate, but I was so intrigued about how they would get candy corn in an M&M, I couldn’t resist trying them!

Darcy Zalewski Chocolate Abyss

This delicious dish was created for the M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate Candies Rockin’ Howl-o-ween Recipe Contest. I was agonizing over this for

days. I bought the M&M’s before I went into the hospital, so I felt like I was scrambling to decide on a recipe to try. I no longer had time for testing! Well, I made two recipes and decided to submit this one, a fun variation on classic dirt cake. I’ll still share the other one soon though because it is also delicious Halloween food!

Shasta Walton Corny Halloween Crafts

I was so excited to find out I was chosen to participate in a craft shop and contest using

M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate. I don’t usually have an excuse to buy craft supplies, so this was just the chance I was looking for. You see when I do a shop like this I can tell my husband I have to buy the supplies because it’s for “work!”

Miriam Tirips Halloween Bark Recipe

I woke up this morning with my mind on baking.

I was a woman on a mission to create an amazing Halloween recipe packed with some of my favorite treats. Items on my shopping list for this baking endeavor were the new M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate, chocolate, pretzels, Oreos, and sprinkles. The goal: M&M’s Candy Corn Bark (which from this point forward will be called the “Barkin’ Good M&M’s Halloween Bark.”

Brandie Valenzuela Halloween Garland

http://www.homecookingmemories.com/Oh, how I LOVE this time of the year! Starting with

Halloween, ending with New Years…I love it all. I get so excited when the stores start putting all their Halloween products on the shelves! One new product this year has been M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate. As soon as I heard about them, I knew I would have to get my hands on a few bags, but something even cooler happened…I was selected to create a craft project with the M&M’s.

Marybeth Hamilton Cheesecake Mousse Parfait

Did you know that M&M’s recently introduced a new addition to their product line? M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate candies are now

available only at Walmart stores! While I truly searched more than one store to find these new M&M’s, I have to say they were worth the wait! If you’re on the hunt for this new M&M candy, head to your nearest Walmart store and look for them in the Halloween candy section. I was really excited to try the new M&M’s, so I picked up two packages, along with the rest of the ingredients for the delicious parfaits I planned on making.

Monica Benavidez Candy Corn Centerpiece

I have a little, ok BIG, obsession with candy corn when it’s not in its natural state. Like,

for instance, I won’t eat normal/regular candy corn, but put it inside some M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate candies, and I’ll eat a whole bag in a day. Not alone. My husband helped just so ya know. Yes, we have officially bought FOUR bags of the new M&M’s I’m about to feature. Now, before you judge me, please know that 2 of these bags were for me to craft with. So, if mama told you not to play with your food…I’m gonna argue that candy isn’t food and you should play away . LET’S PLAY!!

Heather DiNuzzo Peanut Butter Blondie Explosion

These past several weeks, I have been on a mission to find the new M&M’s

Candy Corn White Chocolate candies. I love white chocolate so I cannot wait to try them! Being that I could not find the new candy for this recipe challenge, I was allowed to use any type of M&M’s. My favorite, hands down is the peanut butter M&M’s.

Fall is in the air and that means time to bake. I love this time and year with all the baking and harvesting. I also love trying new

Hanan Webster Candy Topiary

Since lately, I have been getting more and more into crafts. When I was asked to participate in a Halloween craft using

these new M&M’s of course I was ecstatic. I decided to try my crafty skills on a candy topiary. I haven’t made one before, but have always wanted to. I just love what a great centerpiece this makes, or even a gift.

Did you know that M&M’s comes out with new flavors beyond just peanut and plain? Maybe because I’m not a mom, but I had no idea!

Mariah Moon Pretzels Kissed with M&M’s

When I got the challenge to pick up a bag of M&M’s Candy Corn

White Chocolate Candies and come up with a great recipe, I was thrilled. M&M’s Candy Corn are the newest member of the M&M’s family and I couldn’t wait to try them. Ideas were floating through my head and I was ready to go! Finding the new M&M’s proved to be a challenge and I have yet to actually find them in any of the three Walmart stores near my house. I tried and tried again! I didn’t let this slow me down though. I still wanted to share a great recipe using M&M’s so I picked up a bag of the classic plain M&M’s and continued on!

April Decheine Frozen Yogurt Pie

Every year we have a huge Halloween party and the traditional Halloween candy is always brought in but

this year M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate Candies are available now in Walmart. So it was time to think outside the box for my recipe and what I would be bringing to the party. I decided on Frozen Yogurt Pie with M&Ms White Chocolate Candy Corn. This is unexpected in October but such a nummy treat.
