Candy corn was created in the 1880s and was originally called "chicken feed" because its colors—yellow, orange, and white—resembled kernels of corn.

It’s made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, and wax, giving it that iconic chewy texture and glossy finish.

Despite being a Halloween staple, candy corn actually has no corn in it—it's just named for its look!

Each little mound of candy corn contains about 10 calories, making it a sneaky little treat to snack on.

Candy corn sales skyrocket every Halloween, with over 35 million pounds sold annually—enough to circle the Earth more than six times if laid end to end!

The tri-color layered design is created by a process called "corn starch molding," which helps set those perfect little kernels one color at a time.

Some people swear by pairing candy corn with salted peanuts for the classic "Cowboy Candy" mix—a sweet and salty combo that’s surprisingly addictive.

Despite its polarizing taste, candy corn has a loyal fanbase that treats this sugary little pyramid like pure Halloween magic!
