Another vote for mellowcreme pumpkins (though I cut my teeth, so to speak, on candy corn).

And candy corn must be eaten by the section, no?

To eat all the colors in one bite is blasphemy.

The problem with candy apples is the apple.

What rocks the most? The Scary Mix! It has mellocreme pumpkins, candy corn, AND black cats.

They showed how candy corn is made on the Food Network last night. As complicated as the process is, they should cost, like, $100 a bag.

Recipe:

1 part candy corn
1 part honey-roasted peanuts

Jam peanuts and candy corn in mouth, chew, swallow, etc.

Result: A payday bar without the caramel mess.

No kiddin, tastes just like a payday.

The only thing that comes close to approaching candy corn's awesomeness is canned pumpkin pie filling.

Ya know, they haven't made any new candy corn in decades. They just recycle the left-overs. Whole candy corns are filtered out of sewage and disinfected.

Lewis Black told me so.

I love you people...

Truly, though, truth be told, I favor the peep myself. They make pumpkin peeps, ya know. And chocolate kitties.

Oooohhhh....I read this thread right before going to the grocery store, so while I was there, I bought a bag of candy corn. That bag is now empty. I think I'm gonna be sick. Every Halloween I do this, and every year, I swear, no more candy corn, ever. Why do I always have to eat the whole bag in one night?
