How to Make Vegan Candy Corn

thevegetarianbaker | October 13, 2014 | Food | 4 Comments

A fan recently contacted me and asked if I knew of any stores that sold Vegan Candy Corn online. For those wondering, what makes candy corn not vegan, candy corn typically has gelatin or beeswax in it. I did by research and to my amazement, I couldn’t find anything. I searched all over the internet for a recipe, but I had some issues finding a decent one. This recipe for vegan candy corn is a combination of many different recipes that I had in my repertoire. I think you will be shocked how closely they look, taste, and feel like candy corn. I hope you enjoy this recipe and don’t forget to share this recipe with all your friends. If you have recipe you would like to see me make, let me know in the comments below. Let me know of what you think of this recipe on via twitter or instagram(@vegetarianbaker & #thevegetarianbaker)

Knead using a little bit of water and food coloring to get a ball of white, orange, and yellow.
Roll each piece into equal length ropes and lay out on wax paper (orange in the middle, white and yellow on the outside edges).

Using a knife, cut triangle pieces.
