Just in time for Halloween!  Each piece has about 6 calories (and no fat) -- so a small handful of the stuff won't kill ya!

I like candy corn but the pumpkins are my favorite.

I don't even eat candy corn! Separating the colors seems impossible!

Bundy for a different take on Halloween you might enjoy
Halloween Humor
or
Halloween: The real Story

The first mentions that : " how it's been discovered that candy corn hasn't been manufactured in thirty years and people just keep recycling what they got last year because, while everyone gives it, no one eats it."
donna h. Oct 30, 2007, 9:41am UTC
yummy
Not a huge fan of candy corn... I do however use it for decoration... TFS

And it was invented right here in Philadelphia back in the 1800's!
Janice Mitchell Oct 30, 2007, 10:22am UTC
Those sugary little spikes of Halloween cheer ... MMMMMMMMM!

Candy manufacturers sold more than 20 million pounds of candy corn in 2001. Candy is no different than a slice of bread, bowl of cereal or a cracker when it comes to causing tooth decay, says the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. So enjoy! Just remember to brush your teeth after!
Bundy P Oct 30, 2007, 10:27am UTC
John Phillip, I believe it! Like fruitcake at Christmas time...LOL!

Thanks everyone!

I think that they are cute but a small handful is all I can take when eating them!
Jennifer G. Nov 6, 2007, 6:20pm UTC
How could I have missed this one??? This is my all time favorite Halloween candy! Although people rarely give it out on Halloween anymore. I always have to buy it and wind up eating way too much of it! LOL!
