Candy Buttons – Candy Corn Style

Did you ever receive candy buttons for Halloween when you were a kid? I did and let me tell you, they were wonderful! If they were different colors, I would eat all of the pink first then, move onto the next color. I could never eat random colors. I had to finish one before I would allow myself to eat the next. Now that I am older, I just make my own. I love to use royal icing to make different shapes like these candy corn candy buttons. Aren’t they cute?

  • Begin by printing off the small candy corn template from the supply list. Reduce it to 75% and it will be the perfect size for the candy buttons.
  • Next, Cut the templates to a size that will fit in your treat bag.
  • Then, place the template on an upsidedown on baking sheet and place a piece of cut freezer paper on it. Place some magnets in the corners to hold everything in place.
  • Pipe the tops white and the bottom yellow and let it dry overnight.

I made a little topper for the bags on PicMonkey. The printer was out of ink so I had to make a very simple one. I think it works!

If you want to make candy buttons, why stop at dots and candy corns? You can make spiders, pumpkins, bats or whatever you can think of. Just find a pattern and make it the size you want. Who knows. It might become your child’s favorite Halloween treat!
