Candy corn ~ the devil's candy

Yum! Count me in as a fan! I even decorate with the stuff-fill hurricanes with them and stick a pillar candle in or black branches and put them on the fireplace mantle-I know it's sacreligious! I've had friends pick the candle wax off of pieces and eat it right up!

There's a song on the kids' channel noggin where a character sings, "No, I don't like Candy Corn..." Hopefully it's subliminally sending messages to my kids;) That way I can save it all for me!
 
LOL! I get a bag every year for my birthday! It's the only time I have to have it - right around Halloween!

You've made me feel better about eating it, though! Kidding.

I think the only reason you can get it at Halloween is because the devil makes it! Does anyone else have a horrible time stopping after just a few pieces!?! I am NOT going to even buy it anymore. It's ridiculous!!!
Get this though...at the grocery store, the clerk was promoting it as a *healthy* snack option because it's made from honey and that if you ever have a sore throat you should eat some, the honey will soothe your throat! WHAT!?!?!? She was a very nice older lady and believed what she was saying! I think I've heard it all now...candy corn as medicine/health food! :eek:

I LOVE CANDY CORN. Have to have some every October. It's the one time a year that I really cheat on candy. Got to live a little....
 
UGH ! I'm the same way with candy corn - have a hard time stopping. Course then put sugar in front of me and if I start I don't want to stop.

I usually do very well staying away from sugar these days but thanks for the reminder - may have to leave town on Halloween nite so I don't buy any and keep it out of the house ! :p

Off to make plans ! LOL !:rolleyes:
 
OK I will admit to having some candy corn “pumpkins” for breakfast (with skim milk) and here is the rational... They are a vegetable, that is seasonal, you are supposed to eat a variety of veggies and especially ones that are colorful and other than candy corn pumpkins I have to admit I don't eat a lot of orange colored vegetables. Hey I don't drink, don't smoke let me have my "pumpkin" vice for Halloween!!!
 
I was doing so good with my eating until seeing this thread. Now I have the urge to run out and buy candy corns! Dang it!
 
Went to dinner at Cracker Barrel last night and they even had the candy corn packaged with a bag of peanuts ready to mix in their holiday stuff.
 
I have a serious candy corn addiction that started waaaay back. I have to admit that ever since my children were old enough to trick-or-treat, I have "safety checked" their bags and pinched all the candy corn for myself. How pitiful is that?! :eek:

LOL! that is pretty funny to hear! I don't think she knew what she was sayin'! hehee.

I'm just glad I live alone, no kids, not at home with family anymore. I've been seeing AAAAAALL that candy when I go to the store...but I walk bye EVERYTIME..cause I know I just don't need it! PLUS...I live where there are NO trick-or-treaters, so i don't have to stock up for them...

But let me tell you...if that stuff was just sitting around here....YOU BET YOUR BUNS....i'd be snackin' on it!! hehe!:p:eek:
