Candy Corn Pizza isn’t a dessert – it’s savory pepperoni pizza with the look of candy corn and is a fun treat for kids of all ages.
Candy Corn Pizza
By Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
I have to admit that the concept of this is much more of an idea than an actual recipe. But I like the idea of having a fun recipe that kids can help put together that looks for all intents and purposes, a bit like Halloween candy corn when sliced.
So for National Pizza Month and #SundaySupper, I think it is a great and fun idea for Halloween parties as well as kids sleepovers. I do include one of my simple recipes for no-cook pizza sauce. I use something like this many times when I make a New York style pizza, although with that one I try to keep it slightly chunky. Either way, chunky or smooth is fine with this. I also do not include a pizza dough recipe in this since it is more of a concept recipe that you can use with any crust, whether you have a favorite recipe, like to use something like bagged or frozen dough or canned tubes of dough or even the ones like Boboli. Whatever you like in that regard works fine with this. I want to keep it simple for the kids. I hope you enjoy! Until next time-

This is beyond cute! Such a fun idea.
I love this, Sue! My favorite kind of candy corn is now PIZZA!
This is perhaps a stupid question but does the tomato sauce turn pink when you blend it? It seems like that happens sometimes when making salsa. Anyway, what a fun recipe! You have such a creative mind!
I’ve never had that happen. Could be the brand of tomatoes you used. Try using the imported San Marzano Italian ones.
LOVE how clever this is
This is brilliant!
Very different!
This looks so cute! I bet kids would love making this pizza.
saw this linked thecrumbykitchen, had to comment on such a wonderful pizza idea! Candy corn, love it, beautifully executed too, thank you!
