So recently there was a comic circulating in socials about the unholy union between corn and candy.

So this brings me to the question do you like candy corn? It’s only available seasonally here in the states. I don’t know if it’s available overseas or not. I will only eat one piece if a coworker buys it because after one piece I am done for a year, lol.

How about you? And what is your least favorite Halloween treat and which is the best?
 
Not ashamed to say that I love it. Although, I always buy the Brach's brand. Also love their Indian Corn (that's with the brown ends) and Pumpkins. Tasted pretty good this year after not being able to eat it for over 5 years.
 
I saw that meme the other day and it made me chuckle. I like candy corn, but I only have it once in awhile. It's really sweet, so I can't eat too much of it either. But I definitely don't think it's an abomination. Lol.

I definitely have a sweet tooth so I like most candy. Black licorice is the only candy abomination I can think of. My favorites (to steal from my kid's candy bags) are almond joy and almond snickers. Huh. I guess I like almonds in candy.
 
I very much dislike candy corn. It's like little triangles of waxy sugar lol I'm not really a sweet eater at all, so that may be the reason.
I do occasionally swipe candy from the trick-or-treat bowl, but only if it's a Mounds or Peppermint Patty, sometimes a Hershey's Special Dark.
 
Candy corn KILLS my teeth!! Talk about a sugar rush! I guess I used to like it, but now - NO. I've got some fake candy corn that I put out. I warn people not to bite it. LOL
 
I have enjoyed candy corn a few times. The best was for a party several years ago a friend brought a bowl of Chex Mix that included candy corn. I wouldn't be interested in candy corn now though.
 
I can take it or leave it. I did throw some into a batch of microwave Crispex mix which made it more festive.

Me too! Brachs ONLY!!!! I really only like about a handful of candy corn.
 
I like candy corn, but a couple of pieces are usually enough. I too only buy Brach's brand.

My all time fav candy is Hershey's Kisses, but I also like other chocolate candies ... Baby Ruth, Almond Joy, York peppermint patty minis. I also like black licorice which most people seem to hate. :)
 
I haven't had any. Clearly I need to visit the USA during October.
I do love Reese's peanut butter cups though.
Black liquorice too, I will even relish the salted kinds.
 
I like it but I can easily pass it up.

I love eating a candy corn, m&m and peanut all in one bite. That's hard to pass up.
 
I LOVE it, but really it has to be mixed with roasted peanuts like 2/3 peanuts and 1/3 candy corn. Some people do it with honey roasted but I prefer dry roasted salted.
 
I like it! Missed out on having any this year though.

Oh that sounds good. I'll have to remember that for next year.
