Candy Corn
Here are a few facts about candy corn:
Candy corn was first invented back in the 1880′s.
Then in 1900, the company that is now the Jelly Belly Candy Company, started producing the candy in massive quantities.
To this day, the recipe for candy corn has remained unchanged.Candy corn has become so popular over the years that there is even a National Candy Corn Day (October 30th). Additionally candy corn is now available in other colors for different holidays; reindeer corn for Christmas, bunny corn for Easter and Cupid corn for Valentine’s Day.
For any of you who are worried about eating too many pieces of candy corn, a cup of candy corn apparently has fewer calories than a cup of raisins. So munch away.

That’s okay. I’ll take the raisins.
I Love raisins and candy corn…and I didn’t get any at Halloween this year.
I have never seen candy corn before. Very interesting
I LOVE candy corn.
@Umnenga - Never saw candy corn before – It’s so common here I took it for granted that all has seen it. I can’t eat too much but once in awhile I like it.
