Talk about your
SUGAR HIGH – for generations, kids have been getting that high from these tasty
morsels. They are so small – it is
difficult to pass up getting a few sitting in your candy dish.

According to
Punchbowl.com - Did
you know that candy corn has been around for more than 100 years and has never
changed its look, taste, or design?
George Renninger of the Wunderle
Candy Company created candy corn in the 1880s. It was made to mimic a kernel of
corn and became instantly popular because of its innovative design. It was one
of the first candies to feature three different colors!

And according to
Wikipedia -Candy
corn is made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, wax, artificial coloring and
binders.[2] A serving of Brach's Candy Corn consists of nineteen pieces, and
contains 140 calories and zero grams of fat.
The top branded retailer of candy corn, Brach's, sells enough candy corn
each year to circle the earth 4.25 times
if the kernels were laid end to end.

All of my
grandchildren, nieces and nephews love Candy Corn – so we keep a good supply on
hand, especially around Halloween time.
