    2. I love candy corn, but I hate those little pumpkins. Bleh. lol....

    3. I'll take it...does the lovely
      bowl come too ; )
      I agree about the pumpkins. It's the combination of the three flavors that make the candy corn so good.

    4. the bowl? sure! :)

      Candy corn is honey flavored...the pumpkins? I'm not even sure. lol....

  3. I think I may have to buy another bag or two to hide if I want to decorate pumpkin face cookies. By the time I find some chocolate chips my honeys will have polished off the bag.
    I like the chocolate kind too.

    1. haha,...I can't buy halloween candy too many days before trick or treat or I'll polish off the bags. ha. I don't like the chocolate kind...and it has to be Brachs. I know, I know...I'm a candy corn snob. haha.

      Delete
    2. I do agree on the Brachs. I must be a candy corn snob too, even if I do like the chocolate.

    3. Isn't there another flavor, too? Seems like I tried another new one last year.

      Delete
    4. Yes, but I'm stickin to just the two "Originals".

      Delete
    5. I don't even remember what the flavor was now, but it didn't sound good. ha.

    6. Can't say that I have ever had candy corn...
      Must be an American thing!! ha!
      How about adding some salted peanuts...don't you just love salty & sweet?

      Enjoy your evening...
      Cheers!

  4. Oh boy, my mouth is watering. I love candy corn. I like to eat them by biting off each colored section individually...I wonder if I'm the only one?

    1. No you're not the only one! When I was little, I'd eat the layers down until all that was left were the little white 'teeth'. lol.

  9. I used to love candy corn. Now, not so much; although you've brought out the best of it in the photo which makes me want to reconsider. :)

    1. I think it's one of those things that you either love or hate. lol...just ask Silver Fox.

  10. Funny that this is your post today... I just found a huge pile of left over candy corn from at least a year ago... they never go bad, you know... I loved them as a kid, though it tastes just a bit too sweet for my tastes these days. Perhaps that is why I still have a huge pile left over. :)

    1. I think I have heard somewhere that it never goes bad, but my bag has an expiration date of 5-8-14! But no worries here...it won't last the weekend. ha. I do admit it is extremely sweet.

      Delete
  11. What a great photo and short and "sweet" post! I've heard funny jokes about candy corn NEVER going bad....that stores just keep putting all the bags on the shelves that didn't sell the year before! I was at a party a few years ago where there were small bowls of a mixture of candy corn, salted peanuts, and m&m's!! Yum!! Reminded me of Pay Day candy bars! Have a lovely weekend, Betsy!

    1. well, I love Pay Days...so I'll have to try that combination! :) I know they say it doesn't go bad...but mine had an expiration date!

  12. We don't have candy corn in England :( in fact we don't really have any seasonal sweets (candy) just chocolate in different shapes and Easter eggs (at Easter!) I miss candy corn, I went to the American food shop but none there, someone must have beaten me to it!!

    1. You are so sweet (!) Betsy, I just got a bunch of choccie ghosts, skeletons and eyeballs and some more little pumpkins today in a different shop, so I think that I am set for halloween candy. Thank you though!

  15. I have never tried these... but they look pretty in the bowl. Happy Saturday... hope you enjoy the roast. I love cracking myself up too - simple pleasures, hmmm?

    1. I'm sure the roast will be fun! And yeah, we have to laugh...and even better if we can make ourselves laugh! It's a good survival technique! :)

  16. I've never had these before Betsy but they look really nice, I sort of want to try some!

    1. You haven't had them either? Maybe it really is an American thing! Who knew?!

  17. I think your "roast" is like ours asados, are with meat, chicken and salads are really delicious, when we have someones Esperanza eat salads and sometimes I make fish for her (she is almost veggir only eat fish no meat, not chiken not pork)
    and Ditto eat all the meats lol

    1. It's not food...at least not this kind of 'roast'. This is a dinner where the guest of honor is 'roasted' or poked fun of by telling funny stories about them. It's usually for charity. It was a lot of fun tonight and many funny stories were told about the man who was 'roasted.'

  18. You certainly don't get these in the UK. But we don't have a tradition of eating corn so making a sweet (candy) to look like corn wouldn't make any sense. What I love, if I can find them, are boiled sweets made to look like raspberries. Yum!

    1. now I want to know what boiled sweets are!

      Delete
    2. Think Jolly Ranchers. They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and flavours over here! Sherbet lemons are my faves.

      Delete
    3. I don't know Jolly Ranchers, but proper boiled sweets are made with boiled sugar, flavour and bight colouring and not much else. http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/8014/lollies.aspx
      This link is for lollies but you could probably make them in the traditional shape. Or try this website: http://www.aquarterof.co.uk/taveners-sweet-peanuts-p-86.html
      I think you might like these.

    4. OK...we called boiled sweets 'hard candy'. Lollies are suckers here :) Or lollipops. I've actually had those tavern peanuts once many many years ago! I haven't thought of them since so that was fun to look those up!

      Delete
    5. Jolly Rancher is just a brand name of hard candy....

      Delete
    6. That explains quite a lot. In the UK hard candy is a nail polish brand. That website is such fun. When I was a child sweetie shops had huge jars full of sweets and you bought a quarter of a pound of whatever your fancied (or could afford) in a paper bag, or even a paper poke. These days when everything is "better" it's all ready packaged.
