Recipe: Candy Corn Quesadillas

Kids always seem to love holiday-themed food and the sillier the better. A plate full of Candy Corn Quesadillas as an afternoon snack is sure to delight any child.

These Quesadillas are Ooey, Gooey, Cheesey goodness with cheese on the inside and more cheese on the outside. The crunch of the crushed chips on the outside is amazing.

Be sure to use a shredded cheese that is more yellow than orange in color. The chicken and corn in the filling really make this a hearty, filling snack or lunch, that at least has a little nutrition.
