Hello, everyone. Today’s special post is released in honor of Candy Corn Day! The world’s most perfect food. I know. I said so. I’ve written about candy corn a lot and I think all of them were referenced in last yea’s special post. So I’m reporting most of it here, and give you a break from today’s political lies and insults.
Yes, let’s talk about Candy Corn! You will notice I capitalize the candy and the corn because it’s clearly worth special recognition. And I’ve given it just that. Over the years I’ve written about Candy Corn nearly as often as I have about guns in airports. (But nowhere near as often as Groundhog Day. I have my standards you know.) I think my favorite was this one, Why did the turkey cross the road? You know it must be good because it doesn’t even have Candy Corn in the title. Admittedly much of it recounts my adventure when I was stopped from proceeding up the road by a flock of wild turkeys (the non-alcoholic kind). But Candy Corn makes a surprise appearance toward the end. You should give it a read if you haven’t, or a re-read if you have. Take note, it was written in 2000 when we were being advised to keep our family holiday extravaganzas on the minimalist end of the banquet spectrum.
It was 2014 when Candy Corn got its first starring role in a RRSB blog, Children of the Candy Corn, when I mentioned the many things you can do with it, culinarily speaking. My favorite is still Candy Corn and Prosecco. And it was 2018 when in Corn, Sweet Corn, I expounded on Candy Corn’s claim to being the perfect food even though most autumn offerings push that nasty old pumpkin spice on everything and everybody.
And there you have it, a special ode to that special corn. Happy Candy Corn Day!
I now return to you regularly scheduled insultfest.

Hey! I remember – now that you mention it – your annual post glorifying candy corn. I refuse to capitalize on account of my GREAT DISLIKE for it. But I’ll concede and allow you your treat, dear Michael. This was too funny: “You will notice I capitalize the candy and the corn because it’s clearly worth special recognition.” I’ll veto that nomination. Every time! 😜
Well of all things! I go to all that trouble to cut and paste an already recycled post and you veto its lead character its rightful place in the special recognition worthy food hall of fame. Hmmph!
Can you hear me laughing?!? 😂❤️😂
Hahahahaha! Oh gee, I crack myself up! 😂😂🤣😜

Once again your humor wins out. I’ve always loved candy corn–actually better than real corn, which, if you eat it off the cob, gets those slimy silks in your teeth. Candy corn doesn’t do that at all! It’s the candy that reminds me of Thanksgiving because that’s what my aunt used to have on her dessert table after the turkey was served. Small memories. Big flavor.
Candy corn is the bestest! I can’t imagine what it would have to do to somebody to be not liked. It’s the best out of hand treat I can think of although my favorite was, is, and always will be candy corn infused Prosecco. 🥂
Your choice would be mine as well. And again, you end the week with the same humor you began it with. Thank you for that.
Thank you so much! I just picked up a bunch of of half-price candy corn. Now on to find a Prosecco deal.
