Enjoy a Children of the Corn movie night with these two Children of the Corn inspired recipes! Everything is corn related! First, enjoy a classic popcorn ball. Then have a couple of these candy corn Jello shots that look and taste like actual candy corn. These treats are perfect for fall and Halloween!
Children of the Corn Movie Night
All the corn-related recipes, please.
Children of the Corn is a classic creepy movie. I mean a cult of children who worship a demonic spirit named He Who Walks Behind the Rows.. no, thank you. It's absolutely terrifying.
What's not as terrifying are these delicious corn-related recipes. Because if you are watching a movie about a demon that lives in corn, you gotta have some corn!

These Children of the Corn themed recipes were created for my 31 Days of Halloween where every day in October I come up with Halloween snacks and drink recipe to pair with horror films, Halloween movies, or a Halloween activity. It's so much fun and a great way to celebrate the spooky holiday.

Now let's talk about the two corn recipes I made for my Children of the Corn movie night!
Candy Corn Jello Shots
Children of the Corn Shots
These candy corn Jello shots are soo cute! I've seen candy corn Jello shots before, but I always found it weird that a candy corn shot tasted like lemons and oranges. Seems wrong, right?
So I created these shots that actually taste like a candy corn! I used unflavored gelatin so I could have control of the flavors. There's a vanilla layer, a butterscotch layer, a whipped cream layer, and I used honey for the sweetener. So delicious!

Popcorn Balls
Children of The Corn Snack
Popcorn balls just scream Halloween and are just waiting to be paired with a scary corn-related movie.
The freshly popped corn is coated in a simple sea salt caramel sauce for a very delicious treat. If you want to get fancy- roll them around in some Halloween sprinkles too.

It's time for the scary movie! Grab all of your corn snacks and get to watching!
