Vintage Mint

There’s no other Halloween candy I detest more than candy corn. I admit, their cute little triangle-shape and cheery tri-color bands make them kind of irresistible, but they are deceiving! They taste neither like candy or corn. This is the one candy {along with Tootsie Rolls} that I will never dole out to trick-or-treaters, I might as well be handing out orange painted pebbles. To quote Lewis Black, “All the candy corn that was ever made, was made in 1914. They never had to make it again; we never eat enough of it. Literally, after Halloween the candy corn company send out their minions and they go from garbage can to garbage can and collect the corn and throw it back in the bag…and it appears next year.”

{However, they are adorably tolerable in glass apothecary jars…}
