I love candy corn. I love the pumpkin version of these even more. Since I'm a type 1 Diabetic (been using an insulin pump the last 11 years), I limit myself to one pumpkin per "sitting".
I haven't had a pumpkin in 3 days, so maybe it's time again!

I saw a video the other day by The History Guy that said the pumpkin was actually one of the candy corn's original shapes. The corn kernel shape came later.

Candy corn and salty peanuts mixture is a Halloween tradition @ our house.

I love the corn. Mrs.BurtonRW loves the pumpkins, so that’s usually what we have around the house. The pumpkins are fine by me, but I do like to nibble the corns by color, so three bites per kernel. Can’t do that with the pumpkins.

I kid you not - Picked up 8 bags of the “Brach” brand earlier this week while at Wal-Mart buying andy for the grandkids. Six of these eight bags are already individually vacuum packed or consumption over the next six to eight months.

IMO, since I am the expert in this household about this wonderful treat, the Brach’s brand has the best flavor….

DITTO to what Mr. Rob said - I even taught my grand daughters that this is the proper way to eat candy corn - one kernelat a time - one color at a time…..

We enjoy this also - Like having a Payday candy bar - but about 100 times better……

Probably the one candy on earth that makes me nauseous thinking about it.
I think I was like 7 years old, ate to many and threw up.

Don't want to like em. But I do. I try to stay far away.

I love candy corn…

Does anyone else eat them in three pieces, by the colored sections? I can’t just eat a whole one. They have to be eaten by each section of color.
