Yesterday we used up our leftover Halloween candy with some yummy beverage recipe ideas, none of which included that candy corn leftover from our Candy Corn Challenge attempts. But now, thanks to Pillsbury, we have some great cookie recipes perfect for Thanksgiving!! Each are made with Pillsbury’s Create ‘n Back refrigerated sugar cookies, pre-packaged frostings and, of course, candy corn!
