Candy Corn

Candy Corn

Candy corn can be a hit or miss for people when it comes to candy. I personally think they are little cubes made of sugar, wax, food coloring, and more sugar.

However, one thing we can all agree on is that candy corn is an iconic Halloween candy. But how did this staple get its name?

You may not know, but this candy got its name from…. *Drum roll……*  CORN! When candy corn is stacked, it looks like corn on the cob! 

Think about it! Yellow on the outside, white on the inside.                                   

So now that you know, does that change your opinion of candy corn?
