AnonymousInactiveThat entire rant makes me laugh. What’s even worse, is they now make them in pastel’s for Easter. Have to confess, I do like some of them. There are better brands than others. The cheap ones you can get for 99 cents a bag, yuck. I had some made with honey one year. Pretty good.
Hope you don’t let them ruin your holiday though.

CaitParticipantI just bought the caramel apple kind in hopes that it will change my mind. Darn you Metropolitan Market! Darn you to heck with your little Halloween Candy display! *shakes fist angrily*

JimmyGMemberCan’t stand regular candy corn, but I love Brach’s Indian Corn–made with real cocoa and honey–100 times better than candy corn.

charlabobParticipantAnd then there are peeps — 200 percent sugar that make my teeth shudder to think of them. :-)

GenHillOneParticipantI like to bite off one strip of color at a time…but once a year is enough.

addParticipantI agree with the OP – yuck on candy corn!! I fill up my candle holders with ’em for a little decorative twist…
October 21, 2008 at 10:49 pm #644220
JenVMemberGHO – me too! Like every color has a different flavor, which it totally doesn’t. I am usually good with one handful a year at best.

HuindekmiParticipantHERETIC!!

Oops… sorry. Thought I was at a political rally for a second. I guess everyone has their hot button issues.

ZenguyParticipantA coworker sorts her M&M’s and then eats them in a specific color order…odd!
October 21, 2008 at 11:13 pm #644223
CaitParticipantMy best friend has not eaten a green M&M in her life. I blame half the cellulite on my thighs from her eating them in my presence. There is a high occurrence of green M&Ms in every bag.
October 21, 2008 at 11:21 pm #644224
addParticipantYou know what they say about eating green M&Ms….
October 21, 2008 at 11:37 pm #644225
CaitParticipantLOL! OK, seriously I thought that I had made that up in my crazy little head. I was like “No… there’s no way people actually thought that… I must have been dreaming.”
Something tells me that if that was the reason, she just would have kept right on eating them.

ellenaterMemberThere was the best episode of Malcolm in the Middle where the older brother eats a ton of peeps while his classmates count. He is lying on the floor foaming as they are counting, “99, 100…99, 98, 97”. Priceless. I hate peeps as much as you hate candy corn!
October 21, 2008 at 11:44 pm #644227
JenVMemberI have never understood the whole peeps thing- other than the fact they are cute. They just taste like foam covered in pokey sugar. But I understand they are pretty fun to microwave!
October 21, 2008 at 11:44 pm #644228
hopeyParticipantThe only edible candy corn is made by Brach’s. Everything else is so disgusting I don’t even want to think about it.
I can eat an entire large bag of Brach’s candy corn or indian corn in one sitting… which is why I don’t let myself buy it anymore! :D
However, the next time I’m in Full Tilt I think I may make a flavor suggestion…
October 21, 2008 at 11:49 pm #644229
CountingCoupMemberWhatever happened to the Halloween candy corn? Pumpkins and Witches etc… Am I showing my age here?
Oh well I admit I eat it, once a year, love that 15 minutes of sugar high before zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

miwsParticipantI’m another one that doesn’t like candy corn!
I didn’t even realize it came in other flavors!

megMemberSave the peeps for Peeps S’mores :)
October 22, 2008 at 1:46 am #644232
ZenguyParticipantUh, hopey…it prefers to be called “first American corn”…thanks.
October 22, 2008 at 2:52 am #644233
hopeyParticipantZenguy, don’t blame me, blame JimmyG! He said it first! :P
@CountingCoup — they still make those, though I believe they are referred to as “mellocremes”.
October 22, 2008 at 3:08 am #644234
JayDeeParticipantSo we are instructing members, among them “Hopey (or “Hopi?”) and “Counting Coup” about “First Nation’s Corn”? :-)…
(PS. This and Smartees were always at the bottom of my halloween bag by Thanksgiving.)

mellaw6565MemberI thought I was the only one that hates candy corns! I been avoiding them since I was a kid! Now I only buy candy corns at Halloween so I don’t throw myself into a diabetic coma by eating any of the candy!

ariettaParticipantWoah woah woah, hold on just a minute there. Alright, AReader, are you the same person who posted on epicurious.com, or did you just steal that poster’s entry to copy here? And either way, I can’t believe you don’t like homemade natural candy corn with real butter! Has *anyone* declaring your disgust for candy corn ever tried making it yourselves? I thought not! :) Seriously, I hate that drugstore sh**, too, but then a friend awakened me to the homemade version. I found the same recipe linked to from AReader’s post on (forge from?) epicurious (the vegan one), along with another natural one that used butter. OMG, pure butter and sugar, I was making Homer Simpson noises. I didn’t cook it the right amount of time, so it got really stiff and didn’t work very well. Maybe because I also used that hippie rapadura instead of sugar. Plus I don’t exactly have the abundant space needed for rolling out long ropes of candy, so in the end I just ended up squishing it into a big ball that I ate, well, kind of like a caramel apple, a-hem. So back to the point, you better not be dissing ALL of candy corn until you’ve tried the real thing. Word!

michaelyparkMemberUm, yeah, AReader didn’t write that but took it from my blog at Epicurious.com: http://www.epicurious.com/articlesguides/blogs/editor/2008/10/i-hate-candy-co.html .
I’m sure he simply forgot to add the proper attribution, but I’m definitely flattered that he enjoyed the my anti-candy-corn rant.
