I know that not everyone loves the traditional Candy Corn Halloween treat but I do. The fall bug has bitten me long ago so I am already thinking everything Halloween. Now don’t get me wrong, I adore the Halloween spook but I mostly enjoy the cutesy costumes and decorations. I decided to treat my friends and family to an early Halloween Dessert last weekend and they were not disappointed! I love me a good Poke Cake because they are delicious but also super easy. This is a little different take but still simple and still moist and perfect!

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9×13 baking pan.
2. Mix both cake mixes as directed on boxes. Separate the batter into 3 bowls. Add the Orange food coloring to one bowl and mix well. Do the same for the yellow food coloring. Leave one bowl as is – white.
3. Starting with the Yellow batter, spread the batter evenly in the cake pan. Make smooth. Next add the Orange batter on top of the Yellow batter. Carefully spread it evenly. Finally add the white cake batter on top of they Orange batter. Again, carefully making the batter even.
4. Bake cake for 30 minutes.
5. Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, start poking holes into the cake using a wooden spoon end or long tooth pick.
6. Once the holes are through out the cake, pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake. Cover the whole cake.
7. Cover cake and refrigerate overnight. Once ready to serve, top with Cool Whip and decorate with Candy Corn!
