Candy Corn is the signature candy for Fall. So why not try to make it at home instead of buying it at the store? It may not be as cheap but it might be fun. I love Candy Corn and used to eat tons of it every October. Now I just have a little bit - too sweet and all - for me at least.
Thanks to SweetCandyCorn for this recipe and all things candy corn!
