A holiday to sink your teeth into

Happy National Candy Corn Day!

"Candy corn is made primarily from sugar, corn syrup and honey. Carnauba wax is usually added. Originally, candy corn was made by hand. Manufacturers first combined sugar, corn syrup, and water and cooked them into a slurry. Fondant was added for texture and marshmallows provided a soft bite. The final mixture was then heated and poured into shaped molds. Three passes were required during the pouring process, one for each colored section. Few changes have been made to the process or recipe, with machines now performing the tasks formerly done by people."

I will admit to a huge addiction to these little buggers. I've gone through at least two pounds on my own already this Halloween. YUM!
