It's pretty but it has a weird consistency. Not exactly a fan. Sometimes I forget and grab some. Spit-spit-spit

I love it, and am trying to resist buying it. Peeps, well, I can take them or leave them.

Is it something I can make?

Mind you, for the sake of health, it sounds as though we should stick to Toffee Apples at Hallowe'en and Parkin (very dense ginger spiced cake) and Cinder Toffee for Bonfire night!

I love candy corn. Have tried to avoid it this year as I can't "eat just one". It's a good thing I can't find it all year long. Glad to see others share my addiction.

I love it but can't eat it, way too much sugar for me.

I love candy corn but it has to be Brach's. I also love the Brach's Harvest Mix of pumpkins, banana flavored ears of corn, Maple flavored syrup jugs, Chocolate cats and bats and large pieces of candy corn.

Candy corn and peeps are the only candy I really allow myself I can buy them and freeze them and eat a little at a time

Love the festive look of them in a bowl, but do not like to eat them. And I am a total sugar junkie, so I can't figure that one out. Don't eat peeps either. Prefer my sugar with a side of chocolate please!

I like candy corn, but prefer the autumn mix with the pumpkins. I eat those first. Hate peeps! I always send them to my sister, who loves them (especially when they get stale, YUK!).

I love candy corn. And it is pretty in a jar. But it hurts my teeth to eat it!
