It’s candy corn season.
Somebody stop me. Please. I will eat these things until my belly aches, my throat hurts and I am otherwise convinced I am slowly killing myself. Death by candy corns.
Even worse than my possible comatose state or death caused by obscene amounts of sucrose, is this sobering statement about sugar:
The arrival of candy corns in stores all across America is only the beginning of the mass amounts of high fructose corn syrup that will be screaming out to us from their tiny little vacuum-packed plastic bags until February.
That is a long time to show self control people, and I’m just not so sure I can handle it. I need help! Or I may end up passed out on the floor next to a bag of candy corns.

Get a hold of yourself woman! Think about how your boys are going to have tell their friends and future wives how their mother od’d on candy corn.
Like I should talk, though… I just ate a whole bag of peanut butter MnM’s in two days. They go so well with coffee!
Haha! mmmm…peanut butter m & m’s are the best!! I should have picked some up at the store too! 😉 haha.
I am so inspired by the nine miles! And the three recent posts–ha! As for this one, can I sign my name on it, too? Why are candy corns so darn easy to eat? I bought a bag last night and it’s already half-gone! Candy corn for breakfast …?
Haha! I thought about that. More like candy corn for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack. Sickening! But they are so easy to eat..until you feel sick. Miss you and thanks! I am trying to keep up with my blog more…as for the nine miles…half marathon is a week and a half away!!!
Try ’em w/ hot (warm) chocolate syrup and melted peanut butter poured on!
mmm…sounds delish!
Good news is I’ve never liked candy corn. Bad news? CAKE IS ALWAYS IN SEASON.
Yeah, cake. There is just no escaping sweets is there?!
Have you tried the caramel corn variety? Yes, I am an enabler. Thanks for asking!
I don’t believe I have, but they sound dangerous… 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
I totally agree! I always loved candy corns, and would eat them until my throat hurts!
You know, I’ve noticed that seems to happen rather quickly…after about consuming 15. I hope you can show more self control than me!
I love those cone shaped orange, yellow and white things. They’re one of my favorites besides Three Musketeers. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for coming by! Glad you can relate 🙂
I really do love candy corn, I do have to fight myself not to thrown them back and eat a whole bag plus some. I never heard of doing peanut butter on top of them, that’s crazy! And possibly very tasty. 😀
I know, making candy corn even more bad for you…shame on those people for suggesting such a thing. Though, it does sound interesting!
This is TOO funny — I was in Safeway with my boyfriend two nights ago, and he almost passed out in the aisle with excitement over finding candy corn. He loudly proclaimed, “It’s candy corn season!!! Woo-hoo!!!”
I slinked away, bag of candy corn in hand. Gotta make the BF happy, after all…
😉
There is comfort in knowing that I (he) we, are not the only ones. Thanks for stopping by!
The line being enjoying and being sick is very hard to determine when it comes to candy corn…..
Oh my goodness you are so right! Maybe it’s because I’ve eaten so many, but the sickness sets in now only after a few. Time to slow down I guess 😉
I love the pumpkins! SOOOO addictive. They are a sign that fall has arrived! 🙂
Ooh, how could I forget the pumpkins? I love it all…butterfingers, cake, candy corn…it’s all good!
Take a handful and throw in some salted peanuts: eat together.
Feel your eyes roll back into your head 🙂
Kinda like a “Payday” but better. Cheers! MJ
Thanks! I do like peanuts, I may try this!
So basically, YOU will die of candy corns and I will pass away due to excessive and sickening large intakes of pumpkin pie.
🙂

PS, I enjoy cheese puffs also. White cheddar only.
Ugh, it’s such a horrible time of year isn’t it?? I mean, horrible for the waste line. It’s absolutely fabulous for the taste buds!
I saw these for the first time today (in the UK). I nearly bought some but didn’t. I now don’t know if I should go back and get some as they are clearly good, or steer well clear to save myself!
No candy corns in the UK!?!?!? I don’t think I could live there! 😉 just kidding. They are oh so delicious, but you may want to steer clear…or else! ha! Thanks for stopping by. And I really do love the U.K.! I studied abroad there one summer 🙂
I love candy corns but for breakfast…I think the worst I ever had was licorice. That was some years ago. Nowadays forget it. Weetabix and Grape Nuts for me.
Then you are a smart man! Thanks for stopping by even though you eat healthily! 🙂
Ok. You’re making me jones for candy corn mixed with peanuts!
This I have never heard of until now. I may have to try the peanut candy corn mix!
Thanks for stopping by! Mmm…Three Musketeers
I’m with Tori. I’m a sucker for cake!
GREAT post!
Kathy
Thanks Kathy!!
For the love of candy corn! It’s good to see I’m not alone! I love harvest candy corn.
You are not definitely not alone!
Candy corn!!! I thought I was the only one who ate handfuls of the stuff until I got sick. 😉 So many people think candy corn is gross but it’s awesome!
Oh it is so awesome. They just don’t understand. My husband won’t touch the things. Good for me. Or is it good for me? Maybe I wouldn’t be in such bad shape if he ate half the bag!
We’d never eat 2 cups of sugar with a spoon or straw, yet we’ll eat about 5 cups worth in the form of candy corns! 😉
Oh so true. And that is basically what we are doing isn’t it?
I have never tasted candy corns.. maybe that is a good thing!?.. c
Sadly, it’s probably a good thing!! haha.
Self-control is way overrated!
Ha! “like” button 🙂
Omg! I was just thinking I got to buy some!
Ha! Better make a run. Jk. Maybe you shouldn’t, or you’ll end up like me!
OMG, I can’t believe the advice you’ve received for even more sinful sweets! You’re all gonna’ hate me, but I don’t indulge! Just lots of sugar in my coffee! But my husband is addicted to candy corns, and I thought he was weird!!! Ha, ha, ha! Now I know he’s not alone! Perhaps you can start a support group for all of you! Good luck through Halloween!
Thanks! I will definitely need to show some self control then through Halloween. And, I know…what bad people, reinventing new ways to indulge in high fructose corn syrup!! You are smart to stay away. I put sugar in my coffee too, go figure.
While I am so NOT a fan of candy corn. I was an instant fan of your bog simply because of it’s title “Butterfingers for Breakfast”! Good luck and don’t be too hard on yourself.
Thank you!! I’ll try not to be…but it’s hard, isn’t it? And my husband hates candy corn, and he and I are still friends, so there are always other ways to relate 🙂 Thanks for stopping by and for being a fan! Honored 🙂
Hey, we all have to die SOMEhow…
Exactly, I mean dying of candy corns might be the best way to go! 🙂
Just 3 more, just 3 more, just 3 more. Hey, who ate all the candy corn? (It must have been my daughter who owns candy corn earrings. Yes, Candy Corn Earrings!)
Oh my goodness! I am really laughing out loud. I do the same thing. Just a few more…and before you know it your belly is aching and your saying “get those things away from me!!” What do they put in them?!?!
I love those candy corns. But Brachs mellowcream pumpkins are my favorite. YUM!
It’s a toss up for me. I’ll take either…and then regret it 🙂
I’m right there with you! It’s even worse when you find the big value-size bags, and of course you want to get the most bang for your buck, right? So it all comes down to – do I save my money or save my waistline? I just can’t decide!
TOTALLY agree. Oh man, I love those things.
Never fear! I have the solution – add some protein to the mix: Spanish Peanuts. I can’t say it will curb your addiction, but you can feel better about your sucrose consumption, especially when you have to stop to use both hands to vacuum up the lovely little peanut skins left around the house.
peanuts and candy corn seem to be a very popular mix that i have never heard of until just now. Where have I been hiding?? I may have to try this.
Although I am not a fan of candy corns, I do understand the hold that sugar has on you. In fact, just about a half hour ago, my boss gave me chocolate brownie, topped with white icing, covered in a thick layer of milk chocolate with bits of toffee on top of it. It was about the size of my fist. I started eating it, loved it, and even though I started to get the “sugar shakes” and feel sick to my stomach, I couldn’t stop eating it…it was that tasty. 🙂
Good luck with your candy corns over the next couple of months…I feel for you! 😉
Isn’t it awful!?!? Do they put crack in it or something?!?!
I’m sentimental about candy corn, even though it’s so sweet it’s sort of gross. One of the things I remember my dad doing just before he died very suddenly was sending me a bag of candy corn to my dorm room on the sly with a note in it saying, “Don’t tell Mom I sent this.” 🙂
That’s a sweet memory about your dad…he had it right! But, I’ll admit, it is kinda gross. For some reason when I found out it had honey it made me like it a little less. But then I forgot, and ate half a bag. That was a couple of years ago. Still going strong…
Congrats on being FP!!
I love it, death by candy corn! LOL!!
Thanks so much!!
I narrowly avoided the temptation to buy these babies on my last shopping trip. My rule is: wait until October (and then go crazy). And I second the peanut mix recommendation: yum! Only eight more days till my Official Candy Corn Season Opener . . .
Sweet! No pun intended 🙂
Nice blog ! Check mine and leave me your oppinion !
http://nonameleftformyblog.wordpress.com/
Thanks!
Thanks, I will!
I can’t help myself around candy corn either. If it’s near me, I don’t stop eating it until it’s gone. Then I feel sick to my stomach and start seeing things. Small price to pay for 1 minute of happiness, right?
Congrats on being FP’d!!!
Thanks gals! I’ve been such a bad blogger these past few months and haven’t stopped by yours in a while. Will make it there again soon. Always enjoyed your posts! Glad you can relate 🙂
I say just eat the candy. but then again… I am a man… and we say all kinds of things.
Yes men do, but usually they don’t speak idly, so maybe I’ll take your advice 😉
Ya know, I have always had a sweet tooth, but I’ve never really liked candy corn. Maybe I just the odd one in the bunch 😉
I think there are two kinds of people in this world, those who like candy corns and those who do not. That is where the line is drawn. But we can all still get along, right?
I like Brach’s Autumn Mix… it’s the best of everything, in several convenient bags!
I like it all. Pumpkins, candy corns, candy canes, syrup, candy…you know…
Ohmygosh, Candy Corn!!!! My favorite!
I once heard a comedian joke about how we always get excited for candy corn and eat it, and then feel awful and wish we hadn’t. His big theory is that every year, all the bags of uneaten candy corn that people throw out are collected by a particular set of dump trucks, and are then returned to the candy corn factory and packaged back up again for people to buy next time. They never seem to really go bad, and no one ever seems to finish all of the candy corn they buy.
I am about to head out to the store to get me some though! 🙂
Congrats on being Pressed!
Thanks! That is hilarious. They probably do do that. Although, sadly, they wouldn’t find any uneaten candy corn in my house. It’s gone like a freight train…ha!
candy corns are icky, lol.
I suppose everyone’s entitled to their opinion 😉 My husband says the same thing.
Candy corn is the beginning of the downhill slide that goes through New Years. Tis the season…. Congrats on being FP!
Through New Years and then right into Valentine’s Day. It’s like they know we have nothing else to do but eat all winter! Argh! Thanks for the congrats 🙂
what a lovely post about the loveliest things. congrats on being FPed! 🙂
i love them too! & i thought i was the only one, since my roommates barely touch that stuff. 😮 good for me i suppose 😉
& the only way to stop eating them is to not buy them! 😀
Thank you so much! You are definitely not the only one. You’re right, the only way to stop eating is to never start!! My mistake…shouldn’t have bought them at the store!
Yeah, I know. It’s a good thing I don’t particularly fancy the stuff. Now candy corn comes in all seasons, brown/orange/yellow for Thanksgiving; Red/green/white for Christimas; and pink/white for Valentines. My sons love the stuff. Thank goodness they haven’t figured out a way to seasonally market Twix bars. Well, I guess that means they are available year round. Yum!
The halloween ones are my favorite though. Something seems very wrong in eating candy corn at Christmas. Good luck with the twix addiction 😉
With my family, open bags of candy corn disappear very quickly.
Good people. 🙂
You’re making me hungry! Be sure to drink a nice pumpkin spice latte for me, they don’t have them over here in Germany!
candy corn or pumpkin spice latte?? Oh, I would be sad to live without either. Although Germany would certainly be cool 🙂
I haven’t seen candy corn around these parts yet, but I suppose that’s a very, very good thing. I wish I hadn’t seen this post though, because now I’m going to search for them…
Not to feed your search, but I’m guessing you could find them on Amazon.com. Oh, but it might be bad. I shouldn’t even suggest. Then again, some people detest the things!
this is perfect for me!!! i wont stop you, for we will be eating that together… ^_^
http://travellersdiningdepot.wordpress.com/
It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one!
I love this!!! I absolutely hate candy corn but the mini candy being sold now is too tempting and I always give in… m&m’s and almond joys for dinner I just did that…
Nice! Way to be!!
haha I’m not a candy corn fan but I am a huge candy fan – all year round! and I’m a Reese obsessed Halloween freak! I truly believe Reeses taste better when they’re in holiday shapes, pumpkins, hearts, tree (and I eat so many!) haha
-grace
You know, I think you’re right. Lord help us all live through “candy season”!!
i love all candy and adore chocolate but i get tired of candy corn after 2 or 3… now butterfingers for breakfast i can relate to!
congrats on FP!
Well then, you’re lucky! Candy for breakfast…not recommended, but oh so good! Thanks 🙂
Candy corn is one of those foods that I hate yet if I have one I want them all! My boss should be getting her tin of candy corn soon, maybe time for me to use my paid time off.
Dear Boss, sorry I will not be coming to work today, your candy corns are too tempting. thanks. 🙂 Sounds like a good reason to me! Otherwise, you might really end up sick and then you would definitely need time off. It’s just precautionary 🙂
ahh I know the feeling, thosel little candies are too good. I have a recipe on my blog today where you can use them!
I don’t eat candy corn. Well, not unless it’s tossed into a bowl with plain M & M’s and mixed nuts. Should that happen, call the EMT’s.
We used to put them into cheerio’s as a kids. Nom nom nom! Seriously though, I could not do that now. To much sugar!
Oh gosh!! Candy Corn, Indian Corn, and Autumn mix!!! I love them all. I also like the candies that mimic candy corns such as those orange and white Dots flavored ones (Gumdrop Dots)!!
If you think its bad now….wait til the stores start pricing them and all the other candies at 75% off after Halloween.
I wish I had some advice or knew how to help you stop. But I can’t help you until I’ve helped myself! I’m a candy corn addict myself…
Eat half as much candy corn by mixing in roasted peanuts with the candy! Tastes like a Payday bar!
Funny! Why do those yellow, orange and white candies call out to us? I just bought a bag the other day thinking I’d place their colorful little selves in a cute candy dish when company comes this weekend. Ha! Hubby broke into it last night. Of course, I couldn’t let him eat alone! You know, according to Buddy in the movie, Elf, candy corns are just a part of the four food groups: “candy, candy corns, candy canes and syrup.” So from one candy corn-a-holic to another, let the sugar fest begin! 😉
You know, I totally forgot Buddy’s four food groups. But now that makes me feel much better. I think I have fulfilled them all today. Let’s see, syrup on my french toast, candy corns…other candy..maybe not, and no candy canes just yet. I guess I’ve got some work to do. Thanks so much for stopping by! I like your style. That is always my intention too…put them in a cute little bowl for guests…so the story goes 🙂
Candy corn isn’t even all that great. Yet once I start, I can’t stop. Perhaps it is because the candy is such a happy color. I don’t know. But I can relate.
Oh my gosh I totally agree! Candy corn is my biggest weakness! Even though there is always candy around. there is no way for me to resist candy corn!
Oh God. Candy corn. My teeth hurt already.
haha. I love candy corn too!! And my husband HATES it! More for me:)
Brooke, do you remember my mom always putting out candy corn and peanuts at Halloween time? If you don’t it’s because I ate all of them by the time you would get to my house 🙂 Really good combo!!!
I guess you ate them all because I don’t remember that. But after all these recommendations I am definitely going to have to try it!! Those were some good days at the Allen household! Thanks so much for checking out my blog 🙂 Hope things are going well for you!!
I try to pretend they don’t exist. Hard, I know. But sometimes it works. :O)
I can pretty much steer clear of the candy corn, but jelly beans watch out! I keep my next dentist visit in the back of my head when I start thinking about consuming a load of candy. Congrats on being FP!
I just downed an entire bag myself. Candy corn is so addictive, but then so is chocolate, those little sugar chicks that come out at Easter, KitKats, Peanut Butter cups, those minty M&M’s that come out at Christmas . . .
Oooo and those chocolate Hershey eggs with the candy shell.
OMG . . . I can’t stop! Lol!
Great post!
At least they are not in stock all year round. Imagine the sugar-induced comas we’d have….LOL.
Now I need to get some!! aaargh!!
Oh, these are soooo tasty! I do not blame you, yet I’m lucky not to have them (that often) here in Germany! 😉
Once I tried them when one friend of mine brought them on her way back from USA. Gosh, I could swim in those! What sometimes helps me to keep my fingers off sweets is the figure which I have to put in the pants every day I try to dress myself. Going out naked (and fat) doesn’t look that good. 😀
Candy corn = best thing ever about fall in America. Sadly, I’m lampooned in a country that doesn’t even do Halloween, much less produce sugar-high inducing orange cones of delight. Living vicariously through your consumption, so I say keep eating!
Thanks, I will eat one for you tonight. Wish I could share 🙂
The girl in the next office had the red and pink ones on Valentine’s Day and of course me dieting… Did you ever try to eat ONE?
That thought never entered my mind, but I assume I would be a failure. Eat ONE, did you say!?! Impossible. I am such a weakling! Dieting takes guts!
Candy corns are awesome! Halloween is almost here, what better way to make up any excuse to buy candy. Indulge, my friend, indulge.
Congrats on being freshly pressed.

http://www.abitofeverythingnow.wordpress.com
Thanks so much Mariajose! I will enjoy them…It’s only for a season right? That’s what I tell myself!
Haha. It’s almost like yesterday. I love California Pizza Kitchen and my boyfriend and I went yesterday for date night. It was great, specially when it came to the red velvet cake. I still managed to down it all after the appetizer and the entree. It was just for that night. And next week, there will be another night. It’s all good(:
I am so familiar with the struggle you speak of! I went through a phase recently where I ate an entire bag of almond M&Ms OR a pint of ice cream each night (one night I did both). This insanity lasted a solid week and I fantasize daily about doing it again (as I sit typing with my pants undone).
O goodness! Good luck! It is so hard to resist…but we can do it right?? Let’s hope so!
Could someone please tell me what candy corn is ? Im from Australia and we don’t have that here
Well, it’s yellow, white and orange, in the shape of a little triangle, that is probably supposed to resemble a kernel of corn. It has the sweetest softest texture, and it tastes like it was made by the gods. But then it makes your tummy hurt. 😦 I wish you could experience it…well, the first half. It’s hard to explain how good it is…you just have to try some!
I feel like I’m missing out! We don’t have candy corn in Australia!
Oh, I feel sorry for you 😦 Well, maybe not. You can spare yourself some tummy aches, sore throats and cavities 🙂 Come visit the U.S. and try our candy corn!! haha!
I’m not a big fan of candy corn, but I enjoy it occasionally. If you can’t keep yourself from gorging on them, at least make sure you’re getting plenty of exercise, so that the calories don’t obesify you.
Now one food that I probably overconsume during the fall months is pumpkin pie…
Actually, am training for a half marathon! But once that’s over in October, I’ve got to do something to stay in shape! Sweets are one thing I just can conquer 😉
Room for another candy corn freak!?!?!? Possibly one of my favorite parts of Fall!
Oh there’s always room! I guess there really are a lot of us out there. Am starting to think they are sneaking something addictive in them…hmmmm… 🙂
Too funny! Candy corn is the ultimate fall treat. (My sister even sent me candy corn magnets last year, knowing my penchant for them.) Great post and congratulations on FP!
Thanks so much!! It is totally a fall treat, and yes, the ultimate. Hmm, I may need to get me one of those magnets 🙂
Wow! Look at you all freshly pressed! Congrats!!!
Thanks!! It’s fun, huh? Kinda a silly post, but hey–it’s true!
Hold a small cooked bone in your mouth, when the desire for sweets comes, tell yourself, yes, a little later, and hold the bone between your teeth until the desire passes.
hmmm sounds interesting. I don’t know what will work for me!
You think candy corns are good, just wait till Christmas and the cherry coral M&Ms hit the shelves!! Think I’ll end up writing a blog about that one!! 🙂
Cherry Coral M&Ms…hmmm, I’ll have to look for those. I like all things candy, but I am not as much of a sucker for chocolate…unless it’s with mint or peanut butter.
The only reason I do not overdose is geography. You can’t get them in Scotland! I have them “imported” via (Grand)momma and save the bags in the back of the top kitchen cabinet until Thanksgiving. Yes, they are that important. 🙂
This sounds like a problem I have around Easter here in Australia with Cadbury Creme Eggs… good luck with the self control! Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed.
hahaha i love this post. i have the same exact problem and morn December when there is not a trace of candy corn left in the stores
stumbled onto your blog..nice! this post made me giggle..candy corn! lol..gotta love them.
These responses are hilarious….I couldn’t stop laughing! 🙂
I know, aren’t they??
There is an insatiable quality to those little demons. I think they might add salt ;). You are not alone . . . you are not alone.
I do love those darn things…and maryjanes and mini tootsie rolls..its obscene my love affair with halloween candy. Hoping beyond hope you find your will power.
I must say your story is identical to a very good college friend of mine from college!!!!! She’ll eat these things until they’re all gone, she cannot stop!!! I hope you over come the addiction LOL!! 🙂 Enjoy the season!!
Candy corn is completely underrated. I think a large reason why I love it so much is because I associate it with fall memories. It really shouldn’t taste as good as it does…it’s sugary plastic. Yumyum.
LOL i already downed 1 bag of candy corns this season. and its early in the candy corn season.
just remember, candy doesn’t taste as good as a working pancreas feels.
LOL! Touche RandomNtrygg. That must be that weird feeling I had in my abdomen last night. JK. 😉
I pretty much go into a candy corn coma too when the Fall season starts. It’s a love/hate relationship 😉 It’s okay to indulge every once in awhile.

I’ve heard a lot about candy corn but never tried it 😦 Don’t think we have it here in England xD
Candy corn season. I like that.
I feel your pain. I’m on my second handful of Autumn Mix right now. I love those little pumpkins.
My brother just finished off the rest. I told him too…so I wouldn’t eat them. 🙂 Pumpkins, mmmm…
Hmmmm, I thought I cornered the market on the perfect breakfast food with the ham sandwich.
http://mrbricksworld.wordpress.com/2011/07/29/why-a-ham-sandwich-makes-the-perfect-breakfast/
I must try your candy corn.
Congrats on being Freshly Sugarized..oops, I mean Freshly Pressed.
Mr. Bricks
Haha! Thanks! I will have to check out the ham sandwich. That sounds good too…and much better for you than a Butterfinger for breakfast.
I suffer the same fate when it comes to candy corn! AND I have a wedding dress to fit into in 9 months… well, I guess I also have to try it on and pick it out and all those good things that happen first. Anyway, it’s about time I pick one out, but I’ve been putting it off in the hopes that I might slim down just a tad, but with Halloween candy hitting the shelves, I’ve definitely got a challenge ahead of me.
I’ve bought mine already. Yum
CANDY CORN! Candy corn season. Yum. I think I’ll gain quite a lot of weight from eating Halloween candy. Though I’ll try not to. But I won’t be able to help myself. Yummy. 🙂
but why should anyone stop you? candy corn season is the best of the year! they’ve even started extending it to make christmas colored candy corn, and there’s easter/spring candy corn as well. like almost all things, however, it’s no where near as good as the original though
I don’t even eat them any other time of year. Just seems wrong. Doesn’t taste the same either. Strange.
…and those orange pumpkins, ooooh I think you can get a mix of candy corn and those pumpkins. WHOO HOO!!!
Yes, that is the best. I love the pumpkins too!
I want some now!!!! 🙂
Ah, I’m glad to know I’m not alone in my candy corn addiction! My roommate in college used to hide mine from me for fear I would be lost to a sugar-induced coma.
apparently there are a lot of us out there 🙂 Hope you don’t overdo it like I did this year!
I love candy corn myself, but my addiction causes my teeth to hurt when I overeat them. It doesn’t help that I still occasionally shove them onto my teeth like I did when I was a kid. Now I do it to look like a dork for my children and make them laugh.
I’m normally a baked goods person when it comes to my sweet tooth, but Halloween does bring up some of my favorite candies…
Candy corn, circus peanuts, orange slices, peanut butter bars, mary janes, bit-o-honey’s, peanut butter taffy’s, etc. I like a lot of the candies most kids these days don’t and won’t touch.
But, I throw around my kids and I burn off the calories… cuz I’m a guy… and I can do that!!!
Oooh, you bring up some other good Halloween candies. It’s an awful time of year, isn’t it? 😉
Ha! My roommate came home with a huge bag. I have not stopped eating the candy corn and I’m kind of annoyed at her childlike diet. Not because I find the choices to be poor, but she is a gorgeous ballerina who’s body doesn’t seem to notice the crap she eats while I… oh well, that deserves it’s own post 😉 Enjoy fall!
Thanks, I will. I hope you do too…even if it’s not with candy corns 😉
Stop eating those candy? No way, sometimes it is easier to tell others not to do it and to do it oneself. However I realise the danges to over consumption and I am slowly reducing the amount that I take. I don’t believe I can stop eating those entirely but I am reducing the consumption…
me too. trying. I just can’t by them at the store. That was my first mistake!
wow, nice pictures!! such lovely candy, do you really want to eat them?!!
Thanks, and yes, they are so good! But I understand not everyone shares my love of them 🙂
I love candy corn! Halloween is my favorite holiday (it’s tied with Christmas) and I love all of the decorations and candy that comes with it. I like to put the candy corns in my gums and pretend they’re teeth. I’m basically a child.
Congrats on fp! marlowesnymph.wordpress.com
hahah…that’s awesome. Oh the things that can be done with candy corns 🙂 Thanks so much!
I love chocolate! I Love October and all the candy. Great photo so inticing. I gave you an award to help get followers go to: http://postadaychallenge2011.com
okay, two things have rendered me totally jealous: the mention of butterfingers – my all time favorite candy which, of course, aren’t available in Paris – and candy corn. the BEST halloween candy ever. which is also unavailable in Paris. oh how candy can make you homesick!
Oh I am so sorry for you!! 😦 But maybe it’s a good thing you are separated from candy corns and Butterfingers…could be bad. But I’m sure Paris has lots of other tempting goodies! 🙂
Omg I love candy corn. And caramel candy corn. Mmm. I think my yearly sugar coma begins in September and doesn’t end until after Easter, lol. I need to go pick up another bag of candy corn tomorrow when I go to Target…I noticed the last time I was there that they have “gourmet” candy corn in various other flavors…I’ll just have to try them and see if they are equally yummy, hahaha!
nyc! 🙂
n btw
how did you got that style comment system 🙂
Omg now I feel like candy 😉
Think of some substitute….something which is more healthy. I know they look great….probably they taste even greater:) But just make them taboo!!!!
I’m Australian and thusly have no idea what Candy Corn is.
Feel free to send some my way for sampling 😉
Email me some over 😀
Oh I feel your pain. Candy Corn is the first thing I think about this time of year. So far I have resisted the temptation to purchase them and the stores don’t make that easy at all. I have to admit, the thought of them makes my teeth hurt, but they are soooo good!
AH! The Candy Corn: vegetable of the candy world! My birthday is coming up on Oct.1. And for the past 20 years or so, every birthday is celebrated with a chocolate on chocolate cake covered in marshmallow pumpkins and candy corn. The pumpkins are a rather new addition, maybe 10 years or so, but candy corn has always been the cake decoration of choice! Yes, my mother sometimes add sprinkles or maybe some peanut butter filled delight, but I can always count on candy corn. I remember the first time I was presented with this candy covered cake: I was stunned! Who knew that these orange, yellow, and white triangles would be so good this way! The look was amazing…what a celebration of fall birthday! My birthday is not the same with out those little sugary confections smeared with chocolate icing.
I made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing with, of course, candy corns last year for Halloween. It is a delicious combination!! Gotta love sweets 🙂
That’s so cute! How do you feel about circus peanuts?
i like those too…though don’t run into them often. Candy corns are one of my biggest weaknesses!
Oh no, I don’t taste that candy corn yet, but for I will probably like that since everyone here posted that it was awesome. 🙂 I think I’m gonna asked my husband to find me that candy (Giggling).
Anyway, how will I help you stop it? Hmm probably think about your vital statistics, and think if it will damage your figure if you don’t stop, 🙂
We call it “nuts and corn season” in our house- peanuts and candy corn. Yum. Although now you can get it in Christmas colors so it is basically nuts and corn season all year.

Mmmm…. candy corn. 🙂
Bahahaha I freaking love candy corn!!! I could eat a whole bag at one time!
I like your laugh 🙂 Thanks for stopping in!
I feel that way about York Peppermint Patties! Can’t stop! It’s like a drug!
Love those too! Another weakness. Thanks for stopping in…and I love your blog name! 🙂
If you’re going to eat a ton of candy, good thing it’s seasonal candy 😉
Same here! had bought a box of 50 assorted small chocolate bars for my little sister and brother->Finished->got another one->10 or so left…
I hear you; they are my weakness too, along with the assortment of candy pumpkins. The way I see it – it’s only once a year so might as well enjoy it.
Reading this makes me want to go and get some candy corn…oh wait..I don’t even like candy corn. LOL. Great Post! 🙂
Haha! Thanks so much and thanks for stopping in 🙂
You know what’s really killer?
CANDY CORN PUMPKINS.
Ahh, the death of fitting into my wedding dress 😉
People think I’m weird because of the weird things I love for breakfast. So I can totally relate! Candy Corns? Why Not? “Go Girl”.
Haha..Thanks! Well, I actually didn’t eat them for breakfast…just lunch, for a snack and then with dinner 🙂 But I have eaten Butterfingers and chocolate cake before. And you know what everyone also tells me is gross, but I do anyway (on occasion). Cold pizza for breakfast. It is divine! Thanks for stopping in and checking out my blog 🙂
I just want you to know, if you mix candy corns with peanuts and eat them that way? You will be instantly transported to heaven. It actually tastes sort of like one of those salted nut roll candy bars. 😀
I am getting so many recommendations to do this! I may just have to break down and buy a new bag of candy corns (alas mine are gone) and mix them with peanuts to see what all the rage is about!
I’m obsessed! I love candy corn! Everyone tells me I’m crazy for liking it but it is soo awesome! I have been working on my candy cravings too. Eating more fruit helps out a lot. now if only i could control the coffee and cokes
lol
Fruit totally helps. You know what else helps me? A glass of chocolate milk or some cinnamon and sugar toast. I mean, that’s got to be better for you than candy, right? Good luck this season, from one candy corn lover to another 🙂
OMG!!! I LOVE Candy Corn! And that is why I do not buy it! I would lose my mind and waistline if I did! Stay strong buddy!
I will try.
I just found your blog, but I wanted to comment on this post.
I do the exact same thing! I seriously have to stop buying these bags of candy corn, because they are gone by the next day! If I buy it, I’m gonna eat it.
Great blog, BTW, glad I found it 😀
Thanks so much! Glad you can relate 🙂
WOOOO-HOOOO!!!
CONGRATS ON MAKING FRESH PRESSED!! YOU GO GIRL!
p.s. any candy corn eaten to celebrate the making of freshly pressed has ZERO calories!!! xoxoxo
Aww, thanks so much! You’re the *sweetest*. And yes, I believe that is true. Food eaten in celebration never counts! Can we say that for Thanksgiving and Christmas too? Thanks for being a reader 🙂
lol Candycorn is a great way to start the day!
or a horrible way. depends on how you see it 🙂 haha. thanks for stopping in!
This really made me smile–thanks for sharing it. Your writing style is captivating.
Why thank you very much poetprodigy7! Maybe I can call myself a real writer now?
All hail the mighty candy corn
Amen!
Amen.
i’m fairly new to wordpress, and your blog was a wonderful discovery! congrats on a new season, new coast, new home, and of course, being freshly pressed. 🙂
awww, thank you so much! So many exciting things! Who needs Christmas gifts? I think I’ve gotten mine early 🙂 Hope to see you again. P.S. I’ve got so many new blogs to check out now!! I may never leave my computer 🙂
I HATE candy corn while everyone else loves it, guess I’m missing out?
It’s okay. My husband doesn’t like it either. 😦 But, I think you guys might be missing out 😉
Do you like the pumpkin ones? I can usually blissfully plow through 3/4ths of a bag of those until I OD & never want to see candy corn again. Once a year is juuuust about right…
I know the feeling. Picked up my first bag yesterday, and I feel miserable that I fell prey to the typical marketing ploys of consumer-dom.
But they do taste good!
Actually, this isn’t such a bad position to be in. If you get sick from candy corn, you’ll eventually stop yourself from eating them. Try to eat so many of them that you get so sick that the mere thought of one is terrible. Consider that state a blessing. It’s the best diet plan you can think of. The sooner you OD on candy corn, the sooner you’ll be eating what your body really wants: real, nutritious food. Get in touch with me to let me know how this goes. I have no doubt it will work.
Best wishes.
Ahhh.. candy corn. I love it at Halloween and laugh whenever I see it other times of the year. They may color it red white & blue, or red & green, but WHO’S BUYING THAT?!! Inquiring minds wanna know.
That said, woman please eat your fair share. What you leave on the store shelves could be coming home w/ me and things could get ugly.
In conclusion, I can only say thank GOD almighty there’s no holiday associated w/ Circus Peanuts.
Definitely not me! Candy corn just doesn’t work other times of the year! Circus Peanuts…other people have mentioned those. I do like those, but don’t buy them often. I guess I’ve got enough trouble of my own 🙂 Thanks for the congrats and for stopping in again!! You’re too kind 🙂
PS: CONGRATS on being fresh pressed! Couldn’t have happened to a nicer blogger. 🙂
I got a laugh out of when you said “eat them until my throat hurts”. My husband loves candy corn and he whenever he eats too much of it, that is exactly what he complains about…his throat hurting! My favorite thing about candy corn is their texture…it’s addicting…I love them! Have a great day!
Seriously, it happens to me! No one else seemed to complain of that, but I’m glad he can relate 🙂
Candy corns don’t exist in Italy so you can come on over xD
Wow, I’ve never heard of those! They do look so funny, as if a rainbow dragon lost its teeth.
The tops though really remind me the corn seeds. So they are sweet?
How interesting!
I adore corn, boiled salty and preferably near the sea, but it looks like I could probably like these ones as well.
Anyway, don’t cancel yourself a pleasure. I read it somewhere…let me remember… something like “don’t cancel your pleasure, there always will be those ready to do it for you”
Ya i understand
i love sweets too!

They have candy corn, but why don’t they have candy versions of any other vegetables? Wouldn’t that be a great way to get kids to eat them? At least for one bite? Candy asparagus, candy green beans, candy broccoli. Mmmmmm!
Candy corn used to be my favorite candy EVER.
But maybe that’s because I’m from Iowa =P
I have never seen candy corn! It looks like the tooth fairy’s stash rather than a vegetable. its hard to believe they taste good!
I’m right there with you. They are so good but I swear they burn holes in teeth like acid, lol. Thanks for the fun post 🙂
Yum! I love candy corn and am glad its back in season. Hope you don’t pass out from all the bad-for-us-but-we-eat-it-anyways (aka candy).

I can’t agree with you more! Not only do I wait for these during fall/Halloween time… They bring me back to my childhood.. Seeing these colorful little candies sold in the mist of all Halloween candies and costumes.. still brings a smile to my face and a mild tummy ache 🙂
Great post!!
Definitely a better choice than pop corn! Likey!!
i didn’t tasted candy corn
I’ve never tried candy corn! They don’t have it here in Australia. If they do, it’s certainly not easy to come by 😦
Love it! Personally, I don’t like them but I have my own sugar weakness. Milky Way.
Nothing wrong with being a slave to sugar. Trust me I should know *bites into 3rd twirl of the day*
Candyyyyyy

Ay, sorry about the link!
Dear Lord, that photo made me drool. I should be the last person you ask for advice re kicking your candy corn habit. Just this week, I discovered that I had a slumbering sweet tooth. Before, I couldn’t get enough of salty and spicy snacks, but last weekend was all about the sweet stuff. I ate hard butter-caramel candy like it was popcorn (with dire results for my digestive system).
Sigh. But I’m well aware of the consequences of sugar binges. I might just stick to fruits this week. MIGHT.
One word – stop. Oh, but there’s only one life….aarghh. Might as well go all out with it! 🙂
I too will die from death by candy corn…
Oh my Goodness! I never would of thought I would be running into someone in a blog with the same seasonal candy problem as me. I saw the candy corns at the grocery store when I went to buy some stuff for the house. And it is all over the entrance and the check out counter! I ended up buying ike and mikes. I should gone with candy corn because ikes and mikes was not satisfying my sweet tooth. either way I lost because it is still sugar! LOL hard to resist the Fall Sweetness.

I don’t mean to alarm you, but there are now Candy Corn M&Ms out for Halloween. Happy eating!
