Trick or treat. Smell my feet. Give me something good to eat. Happy Halloween, all!
This week the #SundaySupper team is at it again. We’re creating some spooktacular (sorry, I just had to) treats for Halloween. Did you know that Halloween is the most popular holiday in the United States? I mean, I love candy as much as the other guy, but who knew it would surpass Christmas and presents. Wow!
Squirrel and I don’t go all out for Halloween, which means we don’t get dressed up and go to Halloween parties, haunted houses, or zombie bar crawls. Call me lame, but I just can’t see spending all of that money on a costume that I’m only going to wear once. Instead, we stay home and hand candy out to the cute little fancied up kiddos that go trick-or-treating. I just love seeing all of them in their creative Halloween gear.
Halloween isn’t just for the kiddies. Adults can have fun, too, and that’s why I created a fun adult treat- candy corn martinis! Why not sort the candy while sipping on a sweet cocktail?
First, you get yourself some vodka and a bag or two of candy corn. Then, you get yourself a glass bottle and add a generous amount of candy corn and a few good gluggs of vodka. Give it a good shake and leave it alone for 3 hours to get to know each other. After impatiently waiting for 3 hours, strain it.
What you end up with is a very delicious and very orange alcoholic concoction.
Add a shot of vanilla vodka, a bit of pineapple juice, a squeeze of orange juice, and a splash of lemon and you have yourself a festive Halloween cocktail.
Who said adults don’t know how to have a good time?
I sipped on this cocktail after photographing it. What was I supposed to do? Let a perfectly good cocktail go to waste? Oh no, that’s not allowed in Jennie’s kitchen. You shake it. You sip it.
So what if it was only 12 p.m.
Candy corn cocktail in my right hand + a snickers bar in my left hand= Halloween bliss.
Happy Halloween! Enjoy.

Hi and welcome to my flour-dusted kitchen! The name's Jennie. I'm a lover of cupcakes, an avid spatula licker, and a huge fan of sprinkles. Baking is my passion, but you'll find some savory dishes scattered amongst copious amounts of frosting and chocolate. I love hearing from ya, so feel free to leave me some love. Thanks for stopping by my little piece of the interweb.
That is one classy martini glass my friend
and even more than that damn I’m loving the gorgeous drink – Halloween just got more fun 
Cheers

Absolutely wonderful Jennie! Vodka is just the perfect alcohol to infuse anything. Beautiful pics too, and you should always drink the fruits of your labor! Happy Sunday!
I am so impressed with this. I love candy corn but never would have thought to make a drink with them. Wish I had one now. . .or a little later
. It’s pretty early for a martini! I don’t buy Halloween being the biggesr holiday, but maybe that’s because other than the candy, I’m not a fan.
Thanks, Laura. I love infusing vodka; you can get really creative with it.
hmmm. . .I’m intrigued. I always say I can’t drink my dessert (and yes I’m counting candy as dessert), but I don’t know, this could try. Maybe. I do love my candy corn.
Seriously great cocktail for Halloween. And I’m giggling over drinking it at noon. I’ve done that a few times too. Tasty cocktails do not go to waste after taking photos. Cheers!!
Wow,what a great idea to use candy corn in a martini and its such a simple process
I would never have thought of something like this 
WOW these look fantastic!! I WANT ONE NOW! Us adults can have lots of fun for Halloween!
OK…so…that’s actually super cool.
I am muy impressed by your candy corn booze ya got there
I am so making these..look delicious!!
I’ve never tried infusing my vodka with anything…what a good idea with the candy corn! Would you believe me if I told you I’ve NEVER had candy corn either???? It’s so pretty…I’ve used it for decorating but I’ve never actually eaten one…what is wrong with this picture?
What a fun cocktail! Jason and I don’t go out either so we will definitely be sipping on these as well!
Great idea, very creative and I bet it tastes divine too!
This sis so much fun- I’ll be making myself a batch of Candy Corn Vodka pronto!
Cheers dahling! This looks like something I could drink any time o’ day!
I wish I had this recipe for our party this weekend. Hmmm….I have leftover vodka and candy corn. Excuse me while I run to my kitchen
This is my kind of candy corn dessert! Well it’s not really dessert but considering it has candy in it, I’m gonna go with calling it a dessert! I will be making this soon!
Why, of course you have to sip that lovely drink.. who else can confirm how delicious it is before posting it here for us to try:)
You so had me at candy corn. Now you made it even better by adding booze to it!
What a great idea!!! Yum!
How easy is that ! So creative. Gonna make me some now. So creative !!!!
While I don’t like candy corn this is such a cute idea I just can’t help but love it. It makes me wonder what other kinds of flavoured vodkas I could make.
Laura, I don’t like candy corn either, but this cocktail is delicious. You can pretty much infuse vodka with anything. I infused some with apple and cinnamon last year for a fresh appletini.
GORGEOUS!!!! This is almost too pretty to drink!
Love martinis! Of course you’re supposed to drink it after you snap it–you know the saying it’s 5 o’clock somewhere! I may just pick up some candy corn to try this out!
Oh I love this idea!! I am always on the look out for another martini recipe
this is getting pinned on my adult beverage board!! Thanks so much!
The perfect Halloween cocktail! That looks just gorgeous!
I’ve made vodka with Skittles before for Christmas but I love this twist on it for Halloween!
This is the perfect Halloween treat for grownups! Love it!!
I cannot wait to make these!!! I’m not a huge candy corn fan…but with a little vanilla vodka, they are worth another try!
Stephanie, I’m not a huge candy corn fan either, but I love these.
Great job…one of these in my hand would = a fab Halloween for me as well!
Beautifully done!! And SO darn creative!!!
More popular than Christmas? Unbelievable! What a great roundup of Halloween dishes.
Hahaha, at first I didn’t realize you had the instructions for infusing the vodka as well as the martini itself. I saw “Serves 1″ then “4 cups vodka” and I was all “damn, remind me never to go drinking with Jennie!”
I crack myself up. But that martini does sound tasty. And it’s so pretty!
That is the most fun Halloween cocktail idea EVER!
What a unique and creative idea. No alcohol for me till March, but I will have to remeber this for next year.
I’ve been wondering about this since I saw it on the list for this week! It looks amazing! And I bet there will be plenty of “big” kids smacking their lips after a sip of this one!
I’m coming trick or treating at your house for this awesome treat! I’ll even trade you a few snickers from my kid’s bag!!! LOL
Any martini looks good to me! Perfect for our party!
It’s always 5 o’clock somewhere Jennie! 12 is not too early for a cocktail in my book. Just curious, does the candied corn give the vodka any flavor or does it just give the vodka sweetness. Either way, it’s so pretty and I would love a cocktail please.
Sarah, the candy corn gives the vodka a slight caramel flavor, but mostly just sweetens the vodka a bit. It’s the addition of the vanilla vodka and pineapple juice that helps achieve the candy corn flavor.
Sooooo if I came trick or treating at your house, are you passing these out
I thought having a candy corn on the rim was hilarious, mainly because I didn’t know you could do that without breaking it LOL
Carla, I did break a few, but if you push gently enough they’ll stick.
OMG, I love this! so inventive!!!
is it wrong that i love the color of this? i really do. how awesome and satisfying would it be to drink candy corn in a martini? very. obviously i need to make this, as i have a yet-unused candy corn stash in the pantry.
Is it wrong that the color was one of the reasons I decided to make this drink? It just screamed Halloween. I prefer to drink my candy corn, as I’m not a huge fan of the stuff. Yes, you totally need to make this, then sip it like a celebrity.
This sounds like a really yummy cocktail. Sounds perfect for a Halloween good time.
I must be honest, when Jenn told me about this I scrunched my nose a little thinking it would be very sweet. Let me tell you this is a wonderful drink, she brought it over Saturday night for our bonfire. I highly recommend it
Such a pretty color! I was almost going to do this – not I just have to do it to try it, sounds so good!
Very nice! I think a candy corn martini should be a must in my hand next Halloween!
Jennie this is such a cool idea. I would never have thought to use candy corn like this. I love how you put one on the rim.
