Halloween is a bad time to be quilting..or sewing...I just love candy corn! It is my favorite candy in the whole world! I only by it this time of the year....I can eat a whole bag while I am sewing or hand quilting...I am trying so hard not to buy a bag but so hard to resist!!! :lol:

amma 09-11-2010 09:54 AM

I am soooo happy it is only availble once a year, too :D:D:D

quilterken 09-11-2010 09:54 AM

Oh, I agree completely. I don't get the treats for the kiddies until a few days before.

THERE'S A CANDY STORE BY ME, THEY HAVE VALENTINES AND EASTER CORN AND PATRIOT CORN,

quiltinggirl 09-11-2010 10:04 AM

OMG - I'm so glad I am not the only one addicted to candy corn. I buy several bags at Halloween time and then go back to get more bags once they are clearanced down after Halloween. My other candy addiction is Kraft Caramels. So YUMMY!!

Sadiemae 09-11-2010 10:45 AM

And why do I like these kind that are pure sugar? I wish I liked something like dark chocolate that at least has some health benefits.

NewYearsOld 09-11-2010 10:57 AM

I also love candy corn at this time of year. :) I mix dry roasted peanuts along with mine, so it is not soo sweet. But it is still addicting. :)

MadQuilter 09-11-2010 10:57 AM

Not so fond of candy corn but Laffy Taffies and caramal apple suckers - Oh my stars. I LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!

debbieumphress 09-11-2010 11:13 AM

I love the pumpkins and corn. Oh man. It is that time again..... There is a Russell Stover warehouse on the way to Louisiana and I stop in there and buy baskets full of candy from all holidays. Man.......I feel the calories coming on.

Yes, this time of year, all the Fun Size and Bite Size candy available is just way too tempting. And candy corn, it leaves nothing on your fingers, so you can eat it and handle fabric at the same time! YIKES! Once it's over, then its the Christmas Candy!

cjomomma 09-11-2010 11:32 AM

I love the cany corn too but I have convinced myself that it is nasty so I don't buy it anymore. Now I am trying to do the same with chocolate and ice cream.

ptquilts 09-11-2010 11:43 AM

I can't believe they have Halloween candy in the stores already, as of early Sept. - i guess they have to have SOMETHING in the seasonal aisle.

sewgull 09-11-2010 12:26 PM

Warning: If you eat the entire bag of candy corn, it will make you sick. Just believe me. I have to protect the quilty. I know that person very well.

Carrie let me know about the chocolate and ice cream
Now that's funny lol lol
Orange Sherbert is my downfall.

Ditter43 09-11-2010 12:51 PM

If it was chocolate covered I'd probably be the same way! As it is, I have no problem with it. :D

Tink's Mom 09-11-2010 01:02 PM

I did manage to put the bag back on the shelf the other day...but a bag of Tootsie Rolls snuck into the cart and found there way into the house....I keep hoping that the guys will find them...but so far, I'm the only one eating them.

I walk by it and say I don't need it then say yuck!! Eventually I stop craving it and when I look at it my tummy turns. DD hates this because I won't buy any chocolate. Now the ice cream that's another story but I haven't bought any so so far so good. Lol. Fingers crossed.

Might make you sick, but...

dotcomdtcm 09-11-2010 02:28 PM

Don't let you hands get too sticky!!

leonajo 09-11-2010 03:08 PM

I have been sitting here eating BRACHS CANDY CORN ever since I logged on this afternoon . lol! It's the beginning of fall :) we need to celebrate getting through the end of summer!!

littlehud 09-11-2010 05:57 PM

It's one of my favorite candies too. Sooooo good.

dotcomdtcm 09-11-2010 06:05 PM

How about those little cider jugs? In the mixed ones!

Carol's Quilts 09-11-2010 07:55 PM

I'm diabetic and can't have any of it. A couple pieces wouldn't hurt but who can do that? Boo Hoo !

It is really hard when you are diabetic.
I won't be eating any either. You can't eat this kind of sugar with a tooth broken in half. Ask me how I know this...

Alice Woodhull 09-12-2010 04:16 AM

Mix candy corn with peanuts and you will have the taste of Payday. Don't eat the whole bag at a time. You may end up like me and have diabetes. I used to love it, and still do, but a taste will do me now.

Dodee 09-12-2010 05:21 AM

Oh, my - that candy corn was always my Father's favorite.
Wayyyy too much sugar for me - I'm diabetic, BUT, I do sneak in one or two pieces.

Dodee 09-12-2010 05:22 AM

Barb of Vermont - they also have Christmas items out. I don't know why they just don't leave them out year 'round, which they probably will - some day.

CarrieAnne 09-12-2010 06:24 AM

Its not my favorite, but I have been buying WAY more candy lately, since its ALL OVER, saying "Buy me!"
Chocolate is my weakness....NOT the dark, good for you chocolate either, the BAD stuff with a billion calories......YUM!

Yummmm - try it mixed half and half with peanuts. There's a little nutritional value that way so you can justify indulging :D

Not only is candy corn a problem, but peanut butter taffy in orange and black wrappers and when I can find them, black jack taffy.

Artsyfartsy 09-12-2010 04:30 PM

I love candy corn, but it does not love me back. :( It makes me very sick the day after, so I tell myself its poison, and I can't eat it. ;)

Have you left them in plain sight for the men to find them? I find that to be very helpful. :mrgreen:

lcmimi 09-12-2010 07:27 PM

for me it's the little orange marshmallowy pumpkins that I can't stop eating. YUM

slk350 09-12-2010 07:39 PM

Oh, after reading about all this candy corn..I NEED SOME NOW !!! I love it and jelly beans at easter, BUT only Russell Stovers

Annz 09-12-2010 07:40 PM

Oh boy lets not talk candy...

madamekelly 09-12-2010 08:17 PM

Does any one know if they still make circus peanuts? My dad was addicted to the silly things. I like Belgium Chocolates, and those sinful chocolate covered fruits from Walmart. Did someone mention Candy corn???? Oh no! I will force myself to buy only one bag. Really. I promise. Don't watch me....
