I can't even remember if I ever tried to eat it - it just looked so waxy/plasticky to me when I was a kid that it never appealed to me. Have had no desire to try it either - if I'm going to eat candy, I'll pick a nice quality chocolate, thank you :)
I really like it. But it coats my teeth and mouth with a kind of plastic feeling when I stop eating it. I think it's got to be pretty bad for the teeth. I've never really understood the practice of eating something and then running for the tooth brush. If I gotta do that, I'd rather skip the sweets. BUT, I don't skip sweets. Chocoloate is my drug of choice.
YUCK!
I have never... known anyone, who likes it.
No one in my family likes it either.
My daughter said its just cute to look at.
Yum - I love it. And I love those pumpkin shaped candy corn too :0)
Want to talk about a nasty candy - Boston Baked Beans. Those things are disgusting!!
yes yum yum yum! I have been known to eat a bag by myself.
Only in small doses.
love it.
And yes the pumpkin one is just too sweet.
I've been working on the same bag for weeks. 5 in one sitting and no more. Well, maybe 10.
Eeewww! Not me!
No thank you. I will spend my calories on something else. Too sweet and waxy.
Fun question!
I always CRAVE it as soon as I see it in the stores... then I buy it and eat a handful or two, and get grossed out.
My favorite is the indian corn, though.
Oh and I LOVE Boston Baked beans!!! So does my son!!
When I overindulge in just one handful too many of the candy corn (or pumpkins), I get a sugar headache. :(
Yuk
Once a year at Halloween. I buy it about 4-5 days before our pumpkin carving party and leave it out to get stale - the only way I eat it. Any left goes in the garbage right after the party.
MMMM!!! I love it and no one else in my house does. It is yummy...but I can only eat a small handful at a time - maybe 6-8. But yes!! I have always loved them!
I totally agree with NBinMN! Have to mix it with salted peanuts. Being from MN too - I think that must be a MN thing. Lived in NY for years and you can't even buy salted nut roll there - so I don't think they know what they're missing.
Anyway, it cuts the sweet and is delicious!
I hate to eat it by itself - but a lady brought in some butterfinger candy made out of crushed leftover candy corn, and oh my goodness, that stuff was delicious!
You melt the candy corn, mix it with peanut butter, and put melted chocolate over it. It tastes EXACTLY like a butterfinger, only without that over stick to your teeth thing that a butterfinger does - google it for the exact quantities
I like it! My mom does, too. That's probably the only reason I like it. It must be a special taste that is passed down in the genes. ;)
I don't know many people who do like it.
Yes. I'm an addict if there is one. For whatever reason I enjoy it so much I eat too much at a time. Due to that I only allow myself to eat candy corn during October. I don't know why I like it so much. I'm a runner and eat healthy yet candy corn is what I enjoy or splurge on after a marathon for instance.
I'm with you. I'm not a fan of the pumpkins and can't stand the chocolate ones.
Candy corn can get stale. The stale ones are simply harder to chew and to me gummier. I found Brachs to be the best. I've tried the store brands and they are more likely to be stale. I haven't ventured into gourmet flavors.
Enjoy what you have. If you find, though, they are now stale use them as turkey feathers for a marshmallow body turkey. I've also just placed one candy corn on an iced cupcake and kids love it.
Yes, until holidays are over, then it's diet time :)
I like them but can only eat so many as they are super sweet.
