Candy Corn Anonymous

The Controversial Candy Corn: You either love it or hate it.
Unfortunately, I love it.

This guy right here is known as the "candy corn".  More or less the signature fall/Halloween candy they b begin to appear on store shelves the first week of October.

As it turns out, these little devils go on sale post-Halloween for 50% off at Albertson's! This is a wondrous thing.. and this is a terrible atrocity at the same time.

Wonderful in the sense that I can justify paying $1.59 for a 500lb!! (or 1lb...) bag of candy corn and take them home to devour on the spot.  Of course, the terrible thing about that is immediately after devouring the last candy corn I feel my teeth melting away in a sugar hurricane and my stomach churning upon receiving an entire pound of candy-formed disaster!!

Luckily enough for me, I decided against eating them in their entirety.  At the same time however, I've some how managed to eat healthy enough living on my own that even a handful of these oh-so tasty tri-colored treats make me regret fitting as many into my fist as humanly possible.  Yet despite repeatedly (like 3x a day) feeling disgusting I find myself shoving my fist into the bag on my way out the front door and immediately upon return.

Oh well, I guess that all is in good fun, and preparation for EATING SEASON which happens to open on Thanksgiving (and is my favorite time of the year)!  


Well, I'm off to work, which means another fistful of sugary death that I will somehow manage to enjoy:)


Happy eating!


p.s. I know candy corn can be a controversial candy, but for those of you who may partake now and then try this: Mix equal parts of candy corn and salted peanuts and in your bowl you will have a combination that tastes exactly like a PayDay candy bar. Check it.
