Steps:
- Generously coat a cookie sheet with confectioners' sugar, and set aside.
- In a heavy bottomed saucepan, stir together the white sugar, water and corn syrup until sugar has dissolved. Bring to a boil over medium-high and cook to a temperature of 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Remove from heat, and stir in the flavored oil and food coloring.
- Immediately pour the sugar mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet in a thin stream (this helps it cool). When the candy is cool enough for the outer edge to hold its shape, cut into bite size pieces with scissors. Let cool completely, then store in an airtight container.

Steps:
- In a heavy, 2 quart saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, hot water, and salt. Cook and stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil. Then cook to hard ball stage without stirring, 250 degrees F (120 degrees C.) Frequently wipe crystals forming on the sides of the pan, using a pastry brush dipped in water. Remove from heat.
- Just as the syrup is reaching temperature, begin whipping egg whites: In a large glass or stainless steel mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Pour hot syrup in a thin stream over beaten egg whites, beating constantly with the electric mixer at medium speed. Increase speed to high, and continue beating for about 5 minutes. Add vanilla; continue beating until the mixture becomes stiff and begins to lose its gloss. If it is too stiff, add a few drops hot water.
- Immediately drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. For a decorative flair, twirl the top with the spoon when dropping. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a medium size saucepan, heat the corn syrup and sugar, on medium heat, until the sugar dissolves. Add peanut butter and stir until smooth. Gradually add corn flakes, 1 cup at a time, while mixing. Remove from heat, then spoon mixture onto wax paper, or aluminum foil, and let cool completely. **The official recipe calls for 6 cups of corn flakes, but you can use anywhere from 4-6 cups depending on how much you'd like to make and how crunchy or "gooey" you'd like your candy {use more cornflakes for more crunch}. For these pictures, we only used 4 cups of corn flakes, so keep that in mind when making yours.

Steps:
- Combine the confectioners' sugar, dry milk and salt in a food processor. Pulse 4 or 5 times, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Set aside.
- Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup and water in a 2-quart pot. Place over medium heat, cover and cook for 4 minutes. Add the butter, clip on a candy thermometer and bring the sugar syrup to 230 degrees F, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and remove the thermometer.
- Add the vanilla and the dry mixture and stir continuously with a silicone spatula until well combined. Pour onto a half sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Cool for 10 to 15 minutes, until the mixture is cool enough to handle.
- Divide the dough into 3 equal pieces. Add 2 or 3 drops of yellow food coloring to one piece and knead until the color is consistent throughout. Add 2 or 3 drops of orange to the second piece and knead until the color is consistent throughout. Leave the third piece white.
- Roll each piece of dough into a strand about 18 inches long. Cut each strand in half and roll each piece into a strand that is about 1/2 inch thick and 22 inches long.
- Lay the strands side by side (orange, yellow, then white) and press them together using your fingers. Cut into 4-inch pieces. Then, using a ruler or bench scraper, press each piece into a wedge, keeping the orange section wide and making the white part come to a tip.
- Use a wire butter slicer, knife, bench scraper or pizza cutter to cut each wedge into individual candies. Lay the candies on a piece of parchment until dry, at least 1 hour. Store in an airtight container with parchment between each layer.

- In a bowl, combine powdered sugar and dry milk. In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Heat until sugar has melted. Add coconut oil and cook to 230°F without stirring mixture, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add vanilla and dry ingredients; stir until fully combined. Allow to cool for 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
- Spray a smooth surface and your hands with cooking spray. Separate the dough into three equal portions. Flatten one piece of dough and add a few drops of yellow food coloring. Fold the dough over the coloring and continue kneading until color is evenly distributed. Do the same with the second disk but add a little red food coloring in addition to the yellow, and knead until the orange color is evenly distributed. Roll each piece of dough out to a 53 inch cylinder, adding more cooking spray as needed. Lay the yellow colored rope down, place the orange rope above the yellow rope, and lay the white rope above the orange rope. Press the ropes together until they’re connected.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Using a bench scraper, cut a 4-inch section of the tricolored rope. Stretch the section of rope out until it’s about doubled in length, and press the rope down so it’s slightly flattened with the three equal stripes of yellow, orange, and white parallel to each other. Use the bench scraper to cut 1/2-inch segments, and cut each segment in half diagonally. Transfer candy corn triangles to prepared baking sheet. If some of the triangles are misshapen, use your fingers to press each triangle into the proper shape. Repeat with remaining rope of candy, working with 4-inch sections at a time. Leave candies to sit out uncovered for 24 to 48 hours, until the outside has slightly hardened.
