Turn a plain piece of cheese into an amazingly festive Halloween appetizer! This Laughing Cow Candy Corn Cheese is so simple but is the perfect addition to any Halloween party!
My goal this Halloween is to simplify. I’m going to try my best to reduce the amount I have to do for our party by keeping our decorations uncomplicated. We’ll see if I can stick to this plan. I’m also going to do my best to come up with at least a handful of really easy edible crafts that would be fun to serve at parties or just as a snack. You know me, simple isn’t my thing, but I’m determined to give it a try.
My first Halloween post is just such a treat. Wedges of Laughing Cow cheese are painted with yellow and orange food coloring to look like candy corn. It can’t get much simpler than that!
If you are opposed to using the normal store bought food coloring, there are several natural food colors on the market which will work great as well.
Laughing Cow Candy Corn Cheese Wedges
You’ll Need:
Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges
Yellow and Orange Food Coloring
Food use only paint brushes
Instructions:
Unwrap Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges.
Paint a stripe using yellow food coloring at the wide end of the cheese wedge.
Paint a wider orange stripe above the yellow stripe, leaving the tip white.
Allow the food coloring to dry.
Serve.
I have to admit I do love a blog post that is this easy to compose.

I love this idea. Does the food coloring dry in order to do the sides and back of the cheese?
The food coloring does dry. I didn’t paint it on the back of the cheese, but I did do the sides. Have fun!
Such a creative idea! Love these 🙂
Just made these – SO easy and cute! Took me less than 30 minutes to make 12. (I didn't even use a "food only" paintbrush, just a new Crayola one. 🙂
What an awesome idea you had! I'm a huge fan of candy corn & when I saw this on Pinterest I was like COOL!!! Does the cheese have to be laughing cow cheese or would it work on any white cheese?
I'm sure you could use any white cheese, just cut it into wedges and paint with the food coloring.
I cannot wait to make these for my granddaughter's lunch box!!!! So dang cute!!!!
I can not wait to pack these in my granddaughter's lunch box!!!! So dang cute!!!
These looks fantastic! I was wondering if you diluted the food color or added anything to it? I have both liquid drops and gel food color but wasn't sure which would be best and exactly how I should prepare it.
Thanks, Brit. I just used grocery store variety liquid food coloring. I know orange isn't always in the packages of food coloring, but for some reason I have a bottle. If you don't have orange, you can just mix red and yellow together. If you use gel color, you might want to thin it out with water.
This looks amazing!! I love it!!
I would love to invite you to link it up at our new party Lovely Ladies Linky where you link up once and get seen on 6 blogs!!

Ack…the cuteness! I love candy corn-themed decor in the fall, but I never would have thought to apply the concept to cheese Love these…thanks so much for the inspiration!
I'm happy to inspire:) Thanks, Samantha.

That's really cute! My kids love candy corn…I wonder if I could trick them with these!
You could try:)

Yes, even if you wanted less food color, you could eliminate painting the sides of the cheese.
This is one of my favorite cheeses to snack on. Love this idea!
Me too. We always have them in our refrigerator.
I can never get the candy corn theme out of my mind this time of year. DANG CUTE IDEA!!!
I know, me either. As I was brainstorming ideas the other day, I kept returning to candy corn themes.
…and this is why I love your site!
I'm so glad you do!
You, my friend, are BRILLIANT!! I LOVE this idea! Thank you!

Wow, thanks:)
Very clever! Kids will love it and Mom won't have to feel guilty.
Thanks, Colette.
I love this cute idea!! ..even more so as it's simple and easy!
It's so funny that it's such a challenge for me to keep something simple, but I'm determined to make more!
I'm not normally into food colors but hello, that is amazing!!! I always need salty ideas for Halloween parties to compliment all that sweet and this is just perfect. Great idea! Pinned it too 😉
Thanks for the pin, Melissa:) I do strive to create savory edible crafts, because we can't just have sweets at our parties. I find it more challenging to come up with snacks, but it's fun:)
This is awesome…such a creative idea Beth!
Thanks, Jill:)
