Halloween originated as an autumnal celebration for All Hallow's Eve, the eve of the Christian celebration of All Souls' Day, honoring the dead. On Halloween children and adults play tricks or perform works of mischief to chase away evil spirits. Afterward, good children were rewarded with treats, usually pastries and candy sweets. Halloween is also the time when the last harvest of corn is reaped in rural areas. This is likely where the first 1880's representation of corn in a sweet treat began. Today the first glimpse of candy corn is a hint of Halloween's approach.
Candy Corn DelightsThough traditionally candy corn is served as a treat for children and adults, candy corn also makes a wonderful decorative design for cakes, cupcakes and pies. Children also love to string candy corn into bracelets and necklaces. Although, most times this sweet treat disappears quickly.
A Sweet Corn TreatCandy corn is made from sugar, corn syrup and water. Fondant and marshmallows have been added for a chewier effect. The original candy corn was shaped like a small corn kernel. However, each "kernel" is about 3 times the size of a genuine corn kernel. The color of the original candy corn was yellow and orange with a tip of white. Today, candy corn can be green, orange and white or it may have a chocolate base with an orange center and white tip. In this case, it's referred to as "Indian Corn". There are also varieties of candy corn that coincide with the colors of holidays like Christmas, Easter or Valentines Day. No matter which color is selected candy corn is a big Halloween favorite with children and adults.
A Dish Of Candy CornCandy corn can be sold in bulk packages or in small 4 oz. packets. The Halloween holiday isn't complete without candy corn. Candy corn is yet another symbol of autumn and Halloween that adds to the enjoyment of the season. Adults and children can eat a dozen pieces of candy corn and add less than 100 calories to their diet. Keep in mind that candy corn is high in sugar content.
