Just don't eat the entire bag in one sitting please... I don't want to be blamed for any "accidental" candy corn overdosing.

Martha said...

that's some serious sugar high!

I have that addiction, too. Or at least it goes in phases (good thing it's just seasonal).
here's something, though. does eating it ever make you think of wax teeth? blech. doesn't stop me from eating it. and those pumpkins, too. I'm good about not buying it...now people bringing it to work...

I love candy corn too. I have been good and haven't bought any yet this year. :)

Very American - candy corn. We hardly have that here. It is popcorn with a sugar coat, right?

Karen said...

nope, it's just straight colored sugar in triangles. I need to mail you some, katrin!

Martha said...

yea...Karen, why don't you list the ingredients....my guess: corn syrup, sugar, high fructose corn syrup, honey, carnuba wax, artificial flavor, artificial colors (including yellow #5 and #6), and maybe a gum and titanium dioxide.
delicious! blech. The ingredients are actually enough to control my urges to eat them.

Oh my God! That sounds horrible! Now I googled it and just don't understand why it's called candy corn! Sugar triangles... but corn? I give up.

I love Candy Corn, but my real downfall is the half gallon of vanilla ice cream (low-fat, no sugar added, or I got with yogurt). I can't keep it in my freezer because it's gone in a day and a half.
