It's no secret that candy corn's fave time of year is Halloween, right? Why? Well, mostly because of the totally Halloweenie colors! The orange, yellow and white colors totally scream Halloween to me! About 20 million pounds of candy corn will be sold this Halloween. That's totally over 8 billion individual pieces of corn! That's a ton of candy! Sheesh!
The actual ingredients of candy corn involves corn syrup, sugar and water, but the Goelitz people add a bit of a special marshmallow ingredient to give their candy corn a truly "gourmet" taste. The corn starch is poured into a tray, and then they mold it into the shape of the corn kernel. After that, they fill the shape up, one squirt of color at a time. The candy is then aged for a couple of days, and then it's separated from the corn starch. After that, the candy is dumped into a huge mixer, and bee's wax and candy glaze are added to the mix. This polishes the candy corn up with a great, sweet taste. After that, the candy corn is put on an assembly line and is picked over to make sure only the most perfect kernels get packaged up for sale.
The best candy corn is super-sweet tasting and has an almost vanilla flavor. It should be nice and soft when you bite it, and it should be totally fresh. If you see a bag of candy corn on the shelf that looks like it's from last year, odds are it'll taste like it's from last year, too!
So, this Halloween, if you get a bunch of candy corn in your trick-or-treat bag, you'll totally know something about where it comes from! Don't get a tummy ache from all that snacking!
