Tricking and treating may be all about the kids, but this grown up use for candy corn will give adults yet another reason to raid the little ones' goodie bags. These martini-like cocktails use vodka infused with candy corn, which needs to be made at least 3 hours ahead.

CANDY CORN CORDIALS

Start to finish: 5 minutes active (plus 3 hours to infuse)

Servings: 2, plus extra infused vodka

1/2 cup candy corn, plus extra for garnish

1 1/2 cups vodka

Ice

2 ounces orange liqueur

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 large egg white

In a jar with an airtight lid, combine the 1/2 cup of candy corn and the vodka. Cover and set aside for at least 3 hours. When ready, strain out and discard the solids.

To prepare the drinks, in a cocktail shaker filled with ice combine 4 ounces (1/2 cup) of the candy corn vodka, the orange liqueur, lemon juice and egg white. Shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds, then strain into 2 chilled martini glasses. Garnish with candy corn.
