    Cheese Bread Candy Corn

    Make a loaf of Cheese Bread decorated like candy corn for Halloween dinner. Your whole family will enjoy this delicious bread topped with gooey yellow, orange, and white cheese.

    Halloween cheese bread decorated like candy corn

    I like to think outside of the box when I create fun food for Halloween. Guests at our Halloween parties always expect to find unique appetizers and festive Halloween desserts on the food table.

    So, when I came across a Wilton candy corn cake pan, I knew I would do something out of the ordinary with the pan.

    Of course, a decorated cake is always fun to serve but I decided to make something savory using the pan instead.

    Candy Corn shaped cheese bread.

    I'm always looking for shortcuts when I'm making party food, so I chose to make a candy corn-shaped loaf of bread using a bread mix. You could use my favorite cheese bread recipe if you prefer.

    To make the bread look like a big candy corn, I topped it with yellow, orange, and white cheese.

    The fun Halloween bread tasted great and was a huge hit with our party guests.

    Turn a simple quick bread into this festive Cheese Bread Candy Corn for Halloween.

    Ingredients

    box of bread mix - I used a Wilton bread mix that called for adding butter and water or beer. You can use any boxed mix you like.

    ½ cup of freshly shredded yellow-colored Gouda Cheese - Gouda is naturally yellow, but it isn't quite bright enough to look like the bottom section of a candy corn. To brighten up the cheese, put a drop or two of yellow food coloring in a zip-top bag, add the shredded cheese, and shake. The cheese will become bright yellow within a few shakes.

    1 cup of orange Cheddar Cheese, shredded

    ½ cup white mozzarella cheese, shredded

    Supplies

    candy corn cake pan
    baking sheet

    You can find these Wilton items on Amazon.com (commission earned for sales)
    Wilton Non Stick Candy Corn...Shop on Amazon Wilton Bread MixShop on Amazon

    Instructions

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Make the bread mix according to the package instructions.

    Grease the candy corn pan with baking spray.

    Spread the bread mix in the pan.

    Bake for about 30 minutes.

    As soon as the bread comes out of the oven, flip it over, set it on a baking sheet, and sprinkle freshly shredded cheese over top.

    Place it back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts. Then serve warm.

    Storage

    Store any leftovers on the counter for one day or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    You can make this bread up to a few days in advance then top with cheese and melt in a 350-degree oven just before your Halloween party.

    Variations

    Cheese Bread Leaves and Pumpkins.

    You can also make leaf and pumpkin-shaped cheese bread topped with melted cheese. Check out this Cheese Bread Leaves and Pumpkins recipe for a delicious homemade cheese bread recipe.

    5. Bake for about 30 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center of the bread comes out clean.

    6. Meanwhile, prepare the cheese.

    7. Pour the shredded Gouda Cheese into a zip-top bag.
    8. Add a few drops of liquid yellow food coloring.
    9. Shake the bag until the cheese becomes bright yellow.
    10. Pour it out onto a piece of paper towel and allow the food coloring to dry.
    11. As soon as the bread comes out of the oven, flip it over, set it on a baking sheet, and sprinkle a row of yellow cheese on the bottom edge of the bread, sprinkle orange cheddar cheese in the middle, and then add a triangle of white mozzarella cheese at the tip.

    12. Place the bread back in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese melts.

      I am so blessed that I have my two granddaughters with me while my daughter works. When my children were young I tried to make every day special and holidays more so. I would (and still do), decorate the house monthly, mostly with crafts we make together. How I wish I could purchase anything Wiltons . I love their products! Unfortunately I live on a very small budget and have to be very creative. I recycle everything and my girls love doing a daily project, wether it's crafting, baking, or helping to prepare meals. I try my best fearing they miss out on what other parents can do. We always look at the Wilton products on our monthly shopping trips to Wal-Mart. I splurged on the meringue powder for Halloween cookies this month, but my heart broke when my eldest gdaughter asked for their cookie cutters and I just couldn't afford the 2.99. I don't do these posts, don't know why I'm still writing, it just made me remember how many times the girls ask me for one of Wilton products and how much I wish I could and how much it breaks my heart everytime I have to say I'm sorry but if I buy this we won't have enough for food.

        That's hilarious! When I was in my early 20's, I took my young cousins trick or treating and carried my 1 1/2 year old cousin around all night. She was so darn cute in her pumpkin costume, that no one had a problem filling her bucket with candy even though they all knew I'd be eating her treats:)

      Love surprising the kids on Halloween. One year when they come home from school, I had dressed up semi scary, put on spooky music and had halloween designed snacks waiting for them. After they realized it was me and nothing really scary going on they really enjoyed it. Thanks for the contest.

      I love Halloween more as an adult than I did as a child. I do full out costume every year and love creating my own. Who knew my high school sewing class would come in handy.

      what I enjoy most about Halloween is seeing all the little ones coming to the door all decked out in their cute Halloween costumes.
      Thank you for the wonderful giveaway opportunity. I love all the Wilton products. I have so many of the Wilton pans that I have to use my dish washer to store most of them in. My dishwasher is an extra cupboard for me :}

        Me too. I love seeing the kids in costume. My dishwasher is filled up with dirty dishes and run almost daily. I can't imagine using it for storage, but I sure could use the space. My cupboards are overflowing!

      Love, love, love the candy corn pan!! Most memorable Halloween was when I was about 10 and we had to evacuate the day before Halloween due to a break in the canal bank and possible flood in our neighborhood. We went to my grandma's but my mom was still able to whip together Halloween costumes for me and my brothers. I was Raggedy Ann with a wig made out of a string mop and my brothers were clothesline poles - they won 1st place in the Halloween costume contest !!
