It is no secret that I love candy. I try not to eat it often (for obvious reasons), but if it's in front of me, I'm done. Miraculously, I've never had a cavity. In fact, everytime I go to the dentist, I prepare myself to hear him say that I have 48 cavities. Before I allow the dentist to take a look in my mouth, I always just say, "I love candy".
Halloween has always been fun for me. I look at it as an excuse to eat candy. There's a specific candy that I consider to be my favorite (non-chocolate) Halloween candy. Candy Corn. I love it. I know you can buy it year-round, but it's just so fall-ish to me. I always want it most this time of the year. A teacher friend of mine has a container of candy corn in her classroom right now, and I find myself going in there numerous times a day just to "say hello." Ha.
I consider candy corn to be very versatile too. Have you ever had candy corn in some sort of snack mix? Wow. I've been a fan of mixing candy corn and peanuts together. Then I started adding M&M's to the mix (fabulous). Candy corn also goes well with popcorn. Try it if you don't believe me. THEN, a couple of weeks ago, one of my dear students brought me a mix that included candy corn, peanuts, M&M's, and GOLDEN GRAHAMS. Who would have ever thought? Needless to say, I was totally unable to eat lunch that day. Aren't I setting a great example for my students? :)
I tell people that I'm a healthy eater. And I am. But that's only because I don't allow myself to buy junk food or I would be in serious trouble. I'll eat healthily as long as you don't put any sort of candy in front of me....
especially candy corn.

Mmmm! I also LOVE candy corn...I have already downed a bag at my house. I have had them with peanuts (delish), but none of the other combos! Thanks for the ideas!!

P.S. I think Little Red Riding Hood is the cutest idea. You need a little picnic basket and a stuffed wolf!
I hate candy corn. but it is very fall-friendly.
Candy corn is my favorite too! I have a jar of it in my office too and I have more visitors this time of year than I ever do! Haha!
Try candy corn and honey roasted peanuts. I also love eating M&Ms with popcorn. I love candy:) You are healthy eater since you only eat lettuce and carrots. HaHa!
wow! I'm such a candy corn purist. I don't like mixing it but you have a lot of interesting ones listed. I just asked what sort of mixes people like on my candy corn blog but not many replies yet. Would love it if you stopped by and added your combos.
I like candy corn too and always do a thematic day of teaching on the subject on National Candy Corn Day--which happens to be October 30.
I am impressed...the master of all candy corn wrote on your blog! Please share your "mixes" and maybe he will use your pic or something!
love~
