Candy Corn

MUST ... STOP ... EATING ... CaNDy CoRn!
The comedian Lewis Black says the worst thing about Halloween is ... Candy Corn ... I have to agree, but not for the same reason (he doesn't like it ... I can't stop eating it). I have a large glass pumpkin filled with candy corn and I love to just grab a handful and nibble on it. If I take just the broken ones, have some of the empty calories leaked out? Please say that is so! I love candy corn on sugar cookies (decorated as jack-o-lanterns) ... and I make darling turkey sugar cookies with them for Thanksgiving, so the temptation lasts beyond Halloween all the way through November.

Just in case you haven't heard Lewis Black's views on candy corn ... here's a little clip ... enjoy :) I'm going to go eat me some candy corn while I watch ...

  2. I love them too. My visiting teachers gave my a glass pumpkin jar with them last year. I just pulled out the jar this year and almost bought a bag to fill it again but then didn't since I knew I would be snacking on them all of the time.

    My kids bite off the tip and pretend it is their tooth that has fallen out. Remember when we did that as kids?
