When October rolls around I immediately start thinking: candy corn! We always have a bowl of candy corn sitting out during the fall months because it’s one of our favorite treats. When I’m thinking, I try to stockpile a few bags to pull out during the year when the candy corn cravings hit…and they will.
I love this fudge recipe because not only is it super easy, it’s just so darn fun and perfect for Halloween!
I used my Small Batch 3 Minute Cranberry Pistachio Fudge recipe as a base and it worked beautifully for this recipe. That particular fudge recipe is made in a loaf pan and makes just a small amount of fudge which is great when it’s for a smaller group.
I flavored the orange and yellow layers with honey – just like actual candy corn – and for the white layer, I used clear vanilla extract to keep the white, well, white.
For coloring the fudge, I used this Wilton Gel Food Color Set for the orange and this Wilton Gel Food Color Set for the yellow (although this set would also work).
The fudge is made in layers, starting with yellow. Each layer needs to chill for a good 30 minutes before starting on the next one. After the white layer is added, the fudge needs to chill for at least another two hours to ensure the layers are perfectly set up.
Then it’s just a matter of slicing and cutting into wedges, or triangles so that the fudge actually resembles candy corn. Watch and see how easy it is!
So easy right? My boys were super excited and really loved the flavor of this easy fudge!

Can I use Almond extract instead of Vanilla extract? I can’t find clear vanilla and want to keep it white?
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Absolutely! Almond will taste really yummy! You can truly use any flavor you like that’s clear 🙂
Martha says
I had trouble slicing and cutting into wedges. The layers kept coming apart. Any suggestions?
Connie says
I made this fudge and while it looks good it came out VERY SOFT and was difficult to cut. I tried freezing it but it never seemed to get hard at all. It melts within minutes of coming out of the freezer. What did I do wrong?
Julia says
Trish is this something that could be done ahead of time and frozen to keep fresh? We are doing a children’s Halloween party and I need to do as much as possible ahead of time.

Sure wish I could find a recipe that I saw on fb. Between pop ups and ads and no search, this site isn’t easy.
linda roberts says
We use firefox, and don’t have an issue with popups or ads
Autumn says
I had the same problem trying to look at this site on my iPhone. The constant pop-ups and ads made it impossible. When I got home I tried on my tablet and it was better, although there were still a few.
Nice looking recipes though.
