It's so easy to turn Laughing Cow cheese wedges into a fun Halloween appetizer. Serve this cute Candy Corn Cheese with crackers. Your party guests will love this fun snack.
My goal this Halloween is to simplify. I'm going to try my best to reduce the amount I have to do for our Halloween party by making some quick and easy Halloween party food starting with these Laughing Cow Cheese Wedge Candy Corn.
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!
You can serve the candy corn cheese with crackers and they will look amazing on a Halloween Charcuterie board.

Instructions
Paint the cheese.
- Unwrap Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges.
- Paint a stripe using yellow food coloring at the wide end of the cheese wedge. Be sure to paint the edges around the yellow stripe.
- Paint a wider orange stripe above the yellow stripe, leaving the tip white. Paint the edges as well.
- Allow the food coloring to dry.
- Serve.
Serve
That's it! These candy corn cheese wedges are ready to serve.
Storage
You can decorate this cheese ahead of time. Store the cheese wedges in an airtight container in the refrigerator. I found it best to place a piece of paper towel in the container. It will wick up any moisture keeping condensation from forming on the cheese.
That is definitely the easiest Halloween recipe I've ever made to share with you.

I love this idea. Does the food coloring dry in order to do the sides and back of the cheese?
Beth
The food coloring does dry. I didn't paint it on the back of the cheese, but I did do the sides. Have fun!

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?
beth
I'm sure you could use any white cheese, just cut it into wedges and paint with the food coloring.

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.
beth
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.
