Candy corn

For all you candy corn haters, I just saw this recipe on Good Eats for an all-natural version, which looks amazing.  I kind of want to give it a try.  He actually mentioned on the show that it tastes much better than the commercial version, which is pretty much just cornstarch and wax.

Wax?  Wax!  I knew I was smart not to like candy corn.

Alton's recipe does look good, though... no candles in there.

Ooo, I saw that this week.  I really want to try to make them, but it looks like a pain in the arse.  

I'll just go to the store.

Ooh, that looks interesting.  I wish I had a little more time to actually try that.

And ex BF had a theory that no new candy corn is made.  Someone just made a humongous batch a long time ago, and all the uneaten stuff is recycled year to year.

Making candy is kind of a bitch, not gonna lie.  But the homemade stuff is unbelievable.

I don't hate candy corn, but I do prefer the candy pumpkins - and I can't find them around here. Granted, I'm not searching too hard because of what it'll do to my waistline, but even so...
