Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Candy Corn But Were Afraid To Ask

I am going to admit up front that I've never been a huge fan of candy corn.

But it's always there.

Each time autumn arrives, candy corn is sure to follow!

My own opinion of candy corn was most likely formed as a child. When Halloween
and Trick or Treat came around, most friends had their favorites that they
hoped to get on Trick or Treat night. Reese's, Snickers...my personal favorite were
those B-B-Bats of taffy that came in chocolate, strawberry,
peanut butter and my favorite: banana (remember these?)

In any case, I don't think I ever heard any of my friends or classmates exclaim,
"I hope I get a lot of candy corn!"
It just never happened.

But candy corn is traditional.
It has become part of our culture and it is expected.
And it doesn't taste bad!

Did you know that October 30th is National Candy Corn Day?
Now you do.

According to TLC's article "What is candy corn and how is it made?" by Stephanie Watson,
"Candy corn is a sweet replicate of dried corn kernels. It's considered "mellow cream,"
a name for a type of candy made from corn syrup and sugar that has a marshmallow-like
flavor. although candy corn tastes rich, it's actually fat-free."
