What is Candy Corn?

Candy corn has been around for over a century and resembles dried corn kernels. It's considered a "mellow cream," a name for a type of candy made from corn syrup and sugar that tastes a little like marshmallows. Candy corn tastes very rich but it's actually fat free.

How many pounds of candy corn are produced each year?

Candy companies produce nearly 35 million pounds of candy corn every year? That's about 9 billion individual kernels of corn.

It usually comes in three different colors, yellow at the bottom, orange at the center and white at the top. There is now a wide variety of other colors and flavors depending on the holiday. That's right, you can now get candy corn almost year-round!
