The Great Candy Corn Debate: Love it or Hate it?
The Controversial Halloween Treat
Every fall, a certain brightly colored candy makes its grand entrance into grocery store aisles and sparks one of the most heated debates in the snack world: candy corn. You either love it (me!), or you can’t stand it and think it tastes like sugary wax.
Even if you don’t love eating it by the handful, candy corn has a way of making everything feel a little more festive - and in my case, inspiring some adorable fall jewelry designs. Keep reading ;)
The Candy Corn Controversy
Whether you’re a fan or a hater, candy corn has one thing going for it: it’s iconic. That tri-color design (yellow, orange, and white) is instantly recognizable, and it’s been around for more than a century. Love it or hate it, candy corn is here to stay. (yay for me!)
The Recipe You Didn't Ask For
If you’ve never tried candy corn with salted roasted peanuts, you’re missing out on a fall snack that tastes exactly like a Payday candy bar. Seriously! The salty crunch of the peanuts balances the candy corn’s sweetness perfectly.
"Recipe" for Candy Corn Payday Snack Mix:
1 cup candy corn (or that funky harvest mix one will work)
1 cup honey roasted peanuts
Simply mix the two in a bowl and enjoy. It’s ridiculously easy, highly addictive, and perfect for Halloween parties or cozy movie nights. Let's all give my mom a round of applause for introducing me to this "crack" candy treat.
Pro tip: Store it in a jar on your counter: it makes for a cute and festive kitchen decoration and a quick grab-and-go snack.
