Candy Corn

Do you have a favorite candy?

When I was young, we often ate a candy called candy corn. At Halloween and Thanksgiving candy corn was very popular.

Candy corn was made with honey, so it was very sweet. The shape looks kind of like Indian corn. Traditionally the candy was white, yellow, and orange. I would take one at a time. First I would bite off the little white part. Then I would bite off the yellow part. Finally I would eat the orange part. If I could perfectly bite off one color, I was happy.

Although I ate them slowly, I could not stop. I always ate a lot of them.

Now they are not made with honey. Now they use high fructose corn syrup instead. I think it is really bad for our health. I miss the old candy corn.
