Print Recipe

Festive and colorful Candy Corn Cheesecake Bars with a graham cracker crust, creamy cheesecake layers in candy corn colors, and a sweet whipped topping. Perfect for Halloween or fall parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • Orange food coloring
  • Yellow food coloring
  • 1 1/2 cups whipped topping or whipped cream
  • Candy corn, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or foil and lightly grease it.
  2. In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until well combined. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Divide the cheesecake batter into three equal portions. Leave one portion white, tint one with orange food coloring, and the third with yellow food coloring.
  5. Pour the yellow batter over the crust and spread evenly. Carefully layer the orange batter on top, then the white batter.
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are slightly puffed. Allow to cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Once chilled, top with whipped topping and garnish with candy corn if desired. Cut into bars and serve.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for more vibrant layers.
  • Chill overnight for best slicing results.
  • Store bars in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
