1. I never REALLY like candy corn...

But when it was all that was left after the orgy of chocolate themed candy, I dug in to get that sugar high back up there...

[AsahinaKimi]

2. It used to be chocolate covered Cherries

But I would eat them until I got sick...these I am more careful about, and by the way...THEY go great in the Freezer.. crunchy!

[Fridays Child]

3. I, too, confess...

[hfojvt]

5. well I HAD a bag of caramels

which I did not share with Minnie Driver

unfortunately

and I do not like those apples

[ProudProgressiveNow]

8. My fave!!! nt

[AsahinaKimi]

21. Those are good too...

smarties.

I wonder if they still have Mallo cups?

[Freddie]

26. Yes

Made by Boyer Candy near Reading, PA. Yum!! Try Vermont Country Store or Hometown Favorites for hard-to-find candy.
FYI--they make Bonomo Turkish Taffy again!

[hfojvt]

4. are those really made from corn now?

HFCS?

[Lars39]

7. I've been able to find some without hfcs

Publix brand, and I think brachs has taken it out too

[AsahinaKimi]

23. The ones I have, say they are made from honey...

I hope they are... i didn't see any HFCS listed.

[Permanut]

6. Whoa, let's look at this situation a little different way..

I always buy several bags, plus some candy bars for the kids, but here's the important part: the candy MUST BE THOROUGHLY TESTED! Sorry to yell about it, but this cannot be overstressed. We must make certain the candy is safe for the little hobgoblins.

[AsahinaKimi]

22. well said!

[Lucinda]

9. Do you eat them whole, or bite off each color section by section?

Love candy corn!

[Control-Z]

12. I bite off each color section by section.

I've never said (or written) that out loud before tonight. I feel such shame.

But, I can't help myself. I love candy corn!!

[Lucinda]

15. Me too!

But without the shame. I'm happy to let my freak flag fly!

[GoCubsGo]

32. Wow! I thought I was the only one who did that.

Not so much now, but I did that when I was a kid.

[AsahinaKimi]

13. its kinda like...

Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom

[Lucinda]

16. Soooo cute!

[AsahinaKimi]

19. heh!

[Samjm]

10. Mmmmm chunks of plastic....

...that are absolutely disgustingly delicious and can not be eaten in moderation.

[AsahinaKimi]

14. When I was a kid...

I used to eat those waxy bottles of what ever flavor junk was inside them. I don't think it was real wax..but they sure tasted great. Than again, we had Rock candy too... what KIDS WILL put in their mouths!!

[0rganism]

11. recently diagnosed as allergic to sugar, so no more candy for me

but i do miss it.

[AsahinaKimi]

17. Normally I skip on the sweets too.

My Dad was a dentist.. for most my life I have heard the horrors of people roaming the world, barely alive with the gingivitis Zombie plague..

[Lucinda]

18. That must be rough! It's in sooo many things.

[0rganism]

20. it's tricky, but not as tough as the yeast allergy

no yeast means
- no more beer
- no more vinegar
- no more bread

between the sugar and the yeast, i basically can't eat at most restaurants anymore.

[sakabatou]

27. How does a person survive without sugar?

I mean, sure you can use sweeteners, but no sugar at all? Are you ok with fruits?

[0rganism]

35. cane sugar, to be precise

i also try to avoid the high-fructose corn sweeteners whenever possible - not allergic, but they just don't seem healthy, in principle. ditto for the artificial sweeteners.

There's plenty of carbohydrates to be had in other foods without refinement. I'm eating a quasi-paleo diet these days: lots of whole food: nuts, fruits & vegetables, greens, some grass-fed meats. Boring as hell, but it seems to keep the MS symptoms at bay.

[sakabatou]

36. Ah

[Speck Tater]

24. I'm trying so hard to break the candy habit.

I gave up smoking 4 or 5 years ago (I don't recall exactly when) but I took up candy as a substitute. Now I really need to break the candy habit. Hard mints, fun size snickers and milky ways, Reese's mini cups, Hershey dark chocolate kisses, etc. etc. I kept a jar full of assorted candies on the kitchen counter.

But today, I finally walked right past the candy in the supermarket, telling myself "I must be strong, I must be strong." (Damn, I'm virtuous!)

But oh, how I love that candy corn. I'm going to look at the picture you posted and close my eyes and imagine eating candy corn. Yummmm. I am imagining how good it tastes. Mmmmmm.

[AsahinaKimi]

25. "close my eyes and imagine eating candy corn. Yummmm. I am imagining how good it tastes."

STOP THE TORTURE!! ...tosses you a bag of candycorns!

[Speck Tater]

33. OOOOO! You're evil!

[Freddie]

28. 2 kinds of people:

Those who actually eat candy corn, and those like me who think its cute and festive but not edible.
Chocolate, however...sadly I live in a neighborhood with lots of kids and no matter how much candy I buy, there's never any left at the end of the night.

[AsahinaKimi]

29. Its sad many places don't do

Halloween before, like they used to. One of my favorite traditions were the fire departments which would offer hot apple cider with cinnamon donuts for dipping.

[Javaman]

30. candy corn makes me sick. Smarties on the other hand...

[Aerows]

31. I don't eat a lot of sweets

but you would think I would at least get to eat ONE girl scout cookie out of a box of three. No such luck. Candy is no different. If I don't get it right away, I never seem to get a chance! I think I have a Ghost or a troll or something LOL

[OhioChick]

34. I hate anything/everything sweet

Candy, chocolate, donuts, ice cream, etc.

When I was a kid, I used to give all of my Halloween candy to my siblings.
