What Is Candy Corn?
Have you ever munched on a piece of candy corn and wondered to yourself, “How is this stuff made??” The easiest answer is: This corn kernel-shaped candy is comprised of honey, sugar, butter and vanilla. It is a mellowcreme candy that’s very sweet, but does not get sticky due to its waxy exterior. The orange, yellow and white pattern is easily recognizable and it is an essential product on grocer’s shelves around Halloween time.
When Was Candy Corn Invented?
Candy corn was first made in 1888 by Wunderle Candy Company before it was sold to the company now known worldwide as Jelly Belly in 1898. Today the largest manufacturer of candy corn is Brach’s Candy Corn and they produce more than 7 billion pieces a year.
