I bet you’ve got all of the ingredients in your pantry already too! This is also a great way to use up extra Halloween candy!

Trivia Morsel: Candy Corn was originally called Chicken Feed because of it’s resemblance to corn. It was enjoyed by farming families because it was something they could identify with.

    Krystle, I had *no* idea Candy Corn was called Chicken Feed! That’s fascinating. I grew up on a ranch, and I’ve never heard of that, but I love trivia like this! I love the colors of this Poke Cake ~ it looks just like Candy Corn. What a great Halloween treat!
