Spooky Cheesecake

In a small saucepan, melt candy coating. Add orange food coloring to desired shade. Transfer to a waxed-paper-lined baking sheet. Spread to an 11 x 8-inch rectangle. Chill in refrigerator until firm (about 30 minutes). Break into small shards. Set aside.

Reserve 1/2 cup of dessert topping; set aside. Pipe or spread remaining topping over surface of cheesecake. Sprinkle with Halloween candies. Attach shards of candy coating to the edge of cheesecake with reserved dessert topping.
