If you have young kids, you probably spend some time watching Noggin Nick Jr. and are familiar with this song:
My son asked me the other day “Why doesn’t he like candy corn, it’s yummy?!”
and I have to agree.
It’s also addictive, just like its cousin, the mellow creme pumpkin. I just can’t eat a few pieces, I seem to consume the whole bag. It’s basically a bag of sugar and corn syrup and leaves a gross film of sugar in my mouth.
So why do I eat it?
Because I foolishly buy it. I’ll be happy when Halloween is over and the candy corn, pumpkins, and fall mix are all gone.
How about you? What kind of Halloween candy is your downfall?

Oh yes, had my first handful of candy corn last night. I did NOT buy the bag–my husband brought it home from work. The devil! And get this… I used candy corn as a bribe to get my children to eat vegetables. “If you will eat one bite of beets you can have a candy corn.” I hated myself for that one…

Ooooooohh, candy corn! The bane of my existence this time of year! I LOVE candy corn. I actually haven’t had any yet this year, mainly because I don’t particularly want to single-handedly fund my dentist’s month-long Caribbean vacation.
I’m pretty good in the days leading up to Halloween. I’s Halloween night that gets me. And those “fun size” Snickers? Oh man! EVIL INCARNATE, lol!

Corn syrup is awful! Horrible that they’re using it to create candy in the shape of fruits. Urgh! While I can resist all candies, I am helpless before dark chocolate. But sometimes it’s just so much fun to succumb

Candy corn, Yum. I’m hooked on the chocolate and caramel flavor ones. I eat it by the handful. I need an intervention.

Yeah Candycorn is my weakness too
But, luckily after a couple of handfuls, I start feeling yucky and can’t eat anymore!

Never met a Halloween candy I didn’t like.
I agree, it does leave a nasty film on the teeth though.

Candy Corn is alright but not my favorite. My kids watch Nick Jr. all the time too, so I’ve seen/heard that song several times. I try to avoid candy during Halloween as much as I can, but it is difficult.

Quite honestly I hate candy corn. And those pumpkin things. You couldn’t pay me to eat them. My candy downfall? SweeTarts. Or sour gummy worms. Anything sour and fruity. Mmmm… Easter is the worst holiday for that kind of candy! I don’t have much of a problem avoiding the treats at Halloween but Easter is a whole ‘nother story.

Reeses Peanut Butter Cups…can’t resist them. Unfortunately, my kids are too old for me to raid their candy loot…maybe that is fortunate.
I so love the candy corn! My kids talked me into buying a bag late September…gone by the next day.
