Mini Candy Corn Cheesecakes #HalloweenTreatsWeek

This post and recipe was created by Cheese Curd In Paradise for #HalloweenTreatsWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

Mini Candy Corn Cheesecakes are simple to make and yummy to eat. A recipe honoring Halloween's famous bite-sized treat. This candy corn recipe is a simple vanilla layered cheesecake made in a muffin tins with a vanilla sandwich cookie for the crust.

Serious question.

Are you team candy corn?

I am. I love candy corn or those little candy pumpkins. I know that they are not for everyone, but my Mini Candy Corn Cheesecakes certainly are!

I use a cream cheese and sour cream blend to make a delicious vanilla flavored cheesecake. Add a little color, layer, bake, and one of my favorite candy corn inspired recipes is ready to enjoy.

Halloween is not Halloween to me with out these sweet little colorful treats. I loved getting a small plastic bag of candy corn in my trick or treat bag.

I created this treat to celebrate Halloween Treats Week. This week you will see lots of spooky treats from myself and other participating bloggers.

There is also a giveaway and one of the prizes is my cookbook: The Serial Killer Cookbook. It is perfect for the spookiest time of year! Check out the giveaway below to enter!
