Qu'est-ce que le/la/l'Candy Corn ?
Candy corn is a tri-colored, kernel-shaped confection typically made from sugar, corn syrup, carnauba wax, and artificial colors, most famously yellow, orange, and white. Introduced in the late 19th century by the Goelitz Confectionery Company (now Jelly Belly), it has become a quintessential symbol of Halloween and autumn festivities. Its distinctive appearance mimics an actual corn kernel, reflecting its early agricultural branding.
"While often enjoyed on its own, candy corn's unique aesthetic and sweetness can be effectively leveraged in baking as a decorative element or incorporated into mixed snack blends."
