This was interesting below...Woodsy

I used to love candy corn. However, most candy corn contains gelatin, which is a slaughterhouse producd, and, as a result, not vegetarian. Those that I've seen that do not have gelatin definately have egg whites, making them not vegan. But I always check labels in vain.
Today, I found almost completely vegan candy corn! I say almost because a lot of vegans will not use beeswax. I usually do not, not because I abstain from it, but because I generally don't ever find products that contain it. This candy corn has beeswax, but I decided that I had to have it anyway. After all, it's only once a year and I just love candy corn. I sometimes eat stuff with honey, too, though I try not to.
Anyway, for those interested, the candy corn is a "Jelly Belly Confection"--ie, a non jelly bean candy made by jelly belly. I found them in a bodega on 2nd ave and 46th St, but you can order them online, too, at www.jellybelly.com

O we have to CELEBRATE on the 30th

October 30th is National Candy Corn Day and while we've talked a little bit about what it tastes like, we haven't talked at all about its history at all.
Candy corn was created in the 1880s by the Wunderlee Candy Company and, by 1900, was being produced by the Goelitz Candy Company (now Jelly Belly), which has continuously produced it for more than a century. Candy corns get their name from the fact that they are shaped like a kernel of corn. Although they are often shown point-up, the yellow end is really the "top" of the corn. The design apparently made it popular with farmers when it first came out, but it was the fact that it had three colors - a really innovative idea - that catapulted it to popularity.
Originally, candy corn was made of sugar, corn syrup (not HFCS), fondant and marshmallow, among other things, and the hot mixture was poured into cornstarch molds, where it set up. This original mixture is probably where the name of the candy corn-like Mellocreme pumpkins comes from. The recipe changed slightly over time and there are probably a few variations in recipes between candy companies, but the use of a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, gelatin and vanilla (as well as honey, in some brands) is the standard.
A serving of candy corn has about 22 pieces and contains 140 calories, no fat. While it is just about all sugar, the sweet can still be a better choice than a couple of mini candy bars or other Halloween treats that are high in both calories and in fat. Additionally, 22 pieces of candy corn will last a lot longer than one mini candy bar will.

When it comes to candy, I am a chocolate lover - and not stuff like chocolate candy corn either . I just like a good piece of chocolate every now and then to calm the nerves (kinda like Chief Johnson on The Closer).
