Chilly Canine Candy Corn

(makes about 8 frozen mini-treats)

Ingredients

  • 7 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon canned pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons mashed banana
  • 1 dash turmeric

You Will Need

  • Freezer molds (I use pawprints and pumpkins but standard ice cube trays will do just fine)
  • 3 small bowls and 3 spoons for mixing
  • Small zip-lock plastic bags

Instructions

  1. Create the three different colors of candy corn by blending the following in separate bowls: white – 3 tablespoons cream cheese, orange – 2 tablespoons cream cheese and 1 tablespoon of canned pumpkin, yellow – 2 tablespoons cream cheese with 1 tablespoon mashed banana and turmeric.
  2. Separate each color into 3 different zip-lock bags and close.
  3. Snip the corner end of each sealed bag and squeeze each mixture into the molds. Be sure to leave enough room for all of the colors. I start with white, then orange and finally yellow.
  4. Place the filled molds in a freezer safe container and freeze overnight or at least 3 hours.
  5. Pop out and place in snack sized bags to give to guests as they arrive. Serve them frozen and outside or in a dish.
