History

Candy corn resonated in the hearts of people: it was used with particular love during Halloween. A little earlier, corn candy was used to feed chickens. By the way, its name was originally not accurate. “Butter candies” did not contain butter, so it was soon changed. Interestingly, according to the original recipe, candy corn was made by hand. The ingredients included sugar, marshmallows, water, syrups, etc. Now the process has become much easier – human labor is replaced by machines. But this hasn’t changed the taste at all, so just check it out for yourself.
