Gingerdead's Calan Ree asks the important questions. Why is candy corn so emblematic of Halloween and why does candy corn taste...
I really like Candy Corn. I particularly like the texture of slightly stale Candy Corn.
I think that the Brach's candy corn is okay, but I've liked the candy corn that Goelitz (Jelly Belly) makes. Very creamy in texture and buttery in taste, but very hard to find in the stores.
Last week I was eating some of the Brach's candy corn and one of my cats came over to see what I was eating. I held out a piece of candy corn for him to sniff. Once he sniffed it, he immediately backed away from it, ears folded back, then turned and ran out of the room.
My guess is some brands have a food coloring to which you may be averse. I like it, but I'm mainly in it for the sugar rush when I do partake:1orglaugh:thumb:
OEC
Candy corn is yummy, its kind of addicting, I start eating some and before I know it I ate too much and I feel sick.
What's funny about that video is that, yes, it's an exaggeration, but my friend's dad used to work in a factory that made nothing but candy corn, and it sits for EVER before you ever see it at home.
I loooove candy corn. Especially the pumpkin ones. Mmmmm.
There is such a thing as NOT stale candy corn?Quote:

It would explain both the questionable texture and taste.
You should watch that video I posted.Quote:

Yummy candy corn!
I must be the only one who doesn't like candy corn. Yuck.
Because vegetables were not meant to be candied.
