This mouthwatering cheesecake is topped with Halloween sprinkles and edged in orange-colored candy coating. 

3 ounces vanilla-flavored candy coating 
Orange food coloring paste 
Purchased frozen cheesecake, thawed (1 pound, 14 ounces) 
1 8-ounce container frozen whipped dessert topping, thawed 
Small, multicolored decorative Halloween candies 

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 11x8-inch rectangle. Chill in refrigerator until firm (about 30 minutes). Break into small shards. Set aside.
