JFF Candy corn--yes or no?

Time for the Friday brain drain!

Do you like candy corn? I'm not sure if i do or not. It's pretty in my candy jar, but I never want to eat it, because it always looks stale. Then I grab a small handful (tis the season), and for some reason I'm always surprised at how good it is. But after I eat it, I don't want any more for a while. But I buy it every year. And I hate the pumpkin-shaped candy corn.

You? :)

LOVE it! Of course, my husband makes fun of me for loving it. Says it is disgusting. =)

Want to hate it, but I don't think it's humanly possible.

Recently I read that each Halloween, enough candy corn is sold to circle the moon 4 times!

It comes around the other side of awful. If it were available year round I would probably never eat it.

ewwwwwwwwww no way!

Love it! Especially the pumpkin shaped ones!! I like it plain, but even better is to make a trail mix with peanuts, candy corn and M&Ms! YUM!

Hi luna-

I agree it 'looks' pretty...but to me tastes like mildly flavored wax! lol

And the 'different' shaped ones (pumpkin shapes etc) seem to taste like even MORE MILDLY flavored wax...even worse than those wax 'lips' one used to be able to get...

Only the pumpkins. :)

a few pieces are really good but oh so much sugar/corn syrup. I like the pumpkin version...you know the ones that come out at Halloween...Candy corn in the shape of the orange pumpkins...so good...but oh so bad for you :) There are lots of types of candy that look pretty in the candy dish :)

A local chocolate company makes it,and I LOVE it. I'm weird like that. And I hate peeps.

Oh candy corn. Yes yes yes
I eat them with peanuts
I eat them with m&m's
I eat them with Dr Pepper
I eat them plain.

I also eat Twizzlers and M&M's and on Valentines Day those little candy hearts, but only the Necco ones.

blech, can't stand! ;)

It is a once or twice a year candy for me too. It has so much condensed sugar for it's size I think we get that too rich issue and don't want candy again for a long time. It is good in crafts and other things too. But as for buying it instead of chocolate? never gonna happen.

Use double stuff so the tip of the candy corn will fit in the white part between the cookies. Then you just use 2 of them, one for the base and one for the back. The tiny Reese cup, a malted milk ball, and you can break up the candy corn and make wings, feathers, a beak, etc...

I only eat it if its in a bowl mixed with salted peanuts. Then it tastes like salted nut roll. YUM.

Love it!!! I love it with peanuts or in any kind of mix. I love the pumpkin ones though. But do have to admit if I eat too much, my teeth hurt!

No, never.

I'm in the minority-- I actually really don't care for sweets. Maybe, occasionally, a really good piece of chocolate. Otherwise, no thanks on the candy.

Love it... One of my fav's (along with smarties, mmmm)

I love it...my hubby can't stand it!

I'm good for about 5 or 6 pieces a year. :)

Ate it when I was six. Won't eat it in my 40s. Life goes on.
