LOVE IT.

Candy corn and dry roasted peanuts - have to have them at this time of year. Only time I eat either of them.

Quiltbeagle 10-26-2011 12:52 PM

Hate it! No flavor except for over-sweetness ...is that considered a flavor?

QuiltnCowgirl 10-26-2011 12:55 PM

Mmmmm...candy corn! :thumbup:

I like candy corn, my way. I'm just nuts, I know, but I don't care for the white tip. Seems grainier or something. So, I usually just pop off the white tip. The first year my daughter was married, she moved away (yes, it broke my heart.) Well, I was at work one day and when the mail came in, I had a package from her. My dear darling daughter had bought me a bag of candy corn, had patiently popped off the white tips of each and every piece, rebagged it, and send it to me in a box! Now was that an act or love, or what? I've never forgotten that very special bag of candy corn, and never will.

blondeslave 10-26-2011 01:26 PM

Sienna's GiGi 10-26-2011 02:14 PM

I can't eat it because it is too sweet so eat some for me.

mmonohon 10-26-2011 02:15 PM

Love it.

Maride 10-26-2011 02:17 PM

Love it for ten minutes, then hate it for another year.

Gramof6 10-26-2011 02:22 PM

Love it & the orange sm pumpkins made from a similar recipe. I don't buy them as I do not need the sugar. And I do not like peeps. Have a DGS that could eat himself sick with those things.

Jennifer22206 10-26-2011 02:23 PM

Love it, the Brach's honey one is my favorite. :) I don't buy it because I'd eat the entire bag once I started.

Margie 10-26-2011 03:01 PM

I love candy corn in the fall...the rest of the year I can leave it alone....just seem as though it is a "fall/Halloween tradition.

No, no, no, you are doing it wrong- just kidding, I always start from the other end.

I try not to eat them or peeps and don't buy them but if someone gives them to me, I will eat them- kind of a love/hate relationsip.

So do I, mix it with peanuts and taste like a payday candy bar. I mix mine with cashews, don't like peanuts much. I love peeps also. I like sugar.

tuesy 10-26-2011 05:46 PM

I don't like Candy Corn OR Peeps..to much sugar for me.

running1 10-26-2011 05:46 PM

I love it, but I especially love eating it mixed with dry-roasted peanuts... It's like eating a PayDay candy bar...
yummmmmmmmmmmm

haha ... just read the posts just ahead of mine... great minds think alike???

Willa 10-26-2011 06:00 PM

Like it but would rather have chocolate.

Missysgottohelp 10-26-2011 07:49 PM

Love it!!!

sewlisa 10-26-2011 07:50 PM

Don't hate it. Just don't care for it.

sewnsewer2 10-26-2011 08:04 PM

Love it!

yayaquilts 10-26-2011 08:04 PM

Love it! It's so addicting-you can't just eat one! Last week my bff and I almost eat a whole bag of it in one afternoon!!

GheckoAZ 10-26-2011 10:31 PM

It's not officially Fall in our family until the candy dish of candy corn mixed with peanuts is brought out. Love it.
The salty peanuts cut the sweetness of the candy corn.

Annaquilts 10-26-2011 10:35 PM

I don't like it. I do not like Easter peeps and many other items like that either. I think it is because I did not start living in the USA till I was a teen.

Thank you!
So shaped like a corn kernal rather than containing any corn (apart from the syrup)
Sounds interesting, and very very sweet, but I think I will avoid introducing it to myself or to the boys!

I'll stick to the Jelly Belly beans - those I LURVE!
