Ingredients
Makes 24 cupcakes or 8 “ears of corn”
- Vanilla Frosting
- Yellow liquid food coloring
- 24 Vanilla Cupcakes , baked in white paper liners
- 3 1/2 cups small yellow, cream, or white jelly beans, such as Jelly Belly

- 1 tablespoon black decorating sugar
- 1 tablespoon white decorating sugar

Directions
- Color the frosting pale yellow with food coloring.
- Working with 3 cupcakes at a time, frost cupcakes with yellow frosting. Arrange 5 rows of jelly beans, close together, on each cupcake. Place the 3 cupcakes side by side on a corn dish or serving platter to resemble an ear of corn. Repeat process with remaining cupcakes, frosting, and jelly beans.
- Cut the fruit chews into eight 1-inch squares. Soften the edges slightly by hand so that they look like melted butter. Place 1 square on top of each ear of corn. Sprinkle with sugars. Insert a corn holder in the end of each ear of corn, if using. Serve.
