Candy Corn?

Our latest featured review on candycritic.org has got me thinking about when I was a kid. I seem to have memories of my family calling popcorn with a sweet outer coating "candy corn". Today you mostly see sweet popcorn flavours called caramel corn when it's really sweet and kettle corn when the sweetness is less severe.  I think later in life I used to think that candy corn only referred to the popcorns that were covered in sweet stuff, however it had to be a flavour other than caramel. I'm not sure if this was all a construct in my mind, or if other people have the same memories. Today you don't really see candy corn mentioned anywhere except with those Halloween treats.

A Creepy Candy Corn

 I feel like this t-shirt appeals to those who love and those who hate candy corn equally.

Candy In The Media



All through the month of October, we're featuring videos of your favorite candies being made.  Hopefully most of them will be candies you'll get on Halloween too.  To start off, we're looking at a candy you're almost guaranteed to be getting, but not everybody is going to be happy about that.  Candy corn is probably the most divisive Halloween candy treat in the world.
