Sounds yummy, especially with the spices, perfect for halloween themed cupcakes,will give a try!
I just finished baking them and I think that they tasted pretty well, and where easy to make. It just got stuck to the paper liner and they where a bit hard.
I tried using 4 teaspoons of baking powder and it worked better! This is a keeper!!!!!!!
I have never found candy corn or candy pumpkins that are not made on the same equipment that also processes peanuts/tree nuts? Also, is nutmeg safe to use for a PA child? I've always been too fearful.
Allison, Jelly Belly makes a safe candy corn and candy pumpkin. My peanut, milk and egg allergic son loves them. I even called the company to confirm. Since they stopped producing the peanut jelly bean in July 2009, even their equipment is safe (as long as the packaging states it was packaged after July 2009). Note: they do have a coconut jelly bean. Also, nutmeg is safe for the peanut/nut allergic.
