Do you love or hate candy corn? I always had a “like” relationship with the seasonal candy. At first I like it but after a couple of pieces my stomach turns and the desire to eat anymore diminishes. It is pure sugar and food coloring after all – why on earth would that make my insides feel yucky? Not one to give up so easily I decided to give this mix a whirl. It’s candy corn mixed with salty peanuts, popcorn, Reese’s Pieces and coated in white chocolate. Sounds fabulous. And much to my delight it is.
This would make a fantastic treat for friends and/or coworkers. Simply place in cellophane bag and secure with ribbon.
If you are on the fence about candy corn but love yourself a sweet and salty snack this just may sway you to the “love” side. I know it did me. (Peeps on the other hand. No, never.)
Enjoy something you love this weekend!
