Design Secrets of ... Candy Corn!

The lowly candy corn kernel is sweet, chewy, and unremarkable as a holiday treat. However, it has hidden talents that have not been properly acknowledged as the 
oddly versatile source of Holiday Decor and Delight
 that it is.

 Herewith, evidence that Candy Corn deserves more Respect:

 Candy Corn Martini
 Ingredients

  • ½ cup of candy corns
  • 1 ½ cups of vodka
  • 2 ounces orange liqueur
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 large egg white

Directions
First, infuse the vodka with the candy corns. To do this, mash the candy corns in an airtight container and add 
the vodka. Let the vodka mixture sit at room temperature for at least three hours (preferably overnight). When the vodka is ready, strain out the candy corn pieces and place mixture into a glass until ready to serve.
 To assemble the cocktail, add 2 oz. of the infused vodka, the orange liquor, lemon juice, and egg white to a shaker. Shake well and pour into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a few candy corns at the bottom of the glass.~~~  


                                                 Pairs well with "fun-size" candy bars.


                 Halloween is in 2 weeks, y'all!
                 Let's get started APPRECIATING candy corn!

  2. I am so going to do the candy corn martini at our Halloween Party in a couple weeks. I might have to sample a few before the even just to make sure its edible to serve my guests, lol!

    Loving those candy corn balls. We have a florist here that did them last year and they looked really neat. Maybe I will use the big jar of Indian Corn and do something like that!
