Sugar Free Syntax

Question

In Haskell the list notation:

[a,b,c]

Is just syntactic sugar for:

a:b:c:[]

And the string notation:

"abc"

Is just syntactic sugar for:

['a','b','c']

This means that the string:

"abc"

Is the same as:

'a':'b':'c':[]

Task

Given a string you should output what the de-syntaxed version would look like in Haskell.

Rules

You will receive a string by any valid input method, you should output a string ending with :[] with every character from the input surrounded by ' and separated by :. The empty string should output [].
You can assume that you will not receive any characters that require escaping (e.g. ', newlines, tabs ...) and that input will be in the printable ascii range
This is code-golf you should aim to minimize the byte count of your answer

Test Cases

"" -> []
"a" -> 'a':[]
"Hello, World" -> 'H':'e':'l':'l':'o':',':' ':'W':'o':'r':'l':'d':[]

Will the input ever have non-ascii values? Your restriction on characters that require escaping either requires we know which characters Haskell will escape or assumes your list is exhaustive. — FryAmTheEggman, Jun 14, 2017 at 19:05
@totallyhuman Those are not even valid Haskell. If they were maybe, but nice they are not, definitely no. — Wheat Wizard, Jun 14, 2017 at 20:43
@cairdcoinheringaahing No, " and ' are syntactically different. — Wheat Wizard, Apr 9, 2018 at 17:32

Haskell, 26 bytes

(++"[]").((++":").show=<<)

Try it online!

Explanation:

In non-pointfree notation and using concatMap instead of =<<, this becomes

f s = concatMap(\c-> show c ++ ":")s ++ "[]"

Given a string s, we map each char c to a string "'c':" using the show function which returns a string representation of most Haskell types. Those strings are concatenated and a final [] is appended.

Although not requested by the challenge, this answer even works with proper escaping, because show takes care of it: f "'" yields "'\\'':[]".

Haskell, 33 28 26 bytes

foldr((.(':':)).shows)"[]"

Try it online!

fold the given pointfree function from the right into the input string starting with []. The function is: show char as a Haskell char, i.e. surrounded with ' and concatenate with the result so far after putting a : in front of it.

Edit: @Ørjan Johansen saved two bytes. Thanks!

\$\begingroup\$ Nice solution! A few ways you can save some bytes and really get this down. default I/O lets you just return an anonymous function, or even take input from stdin, the latter of which would be much shorter using scan(,'') instead of a function. \$\endgroup\$

Quite straight forward: s/./'$&':/g surrounds each characters with quotes and add a : after. $\ is implicitly printed after each print, so setting it to [] outputs the final [].

A slightly different variation from Guiseppe's answer. This puts the colon and quote on the stack. Then it loops through the input, swapping and outputting the stack. Only the input is scrapped and the colon and quote are retained.

Once the end of the input is reached the IP wonders around the cube a bit, adding and outputting the brackets. There are a couple of redundant commands in the mix.
