Candy corn—love it or leave it—has long been a symbol of fall festivities. As soon as the leaves start to turn, candy shelves across the country begin to stock up on these iconic, tri-colored confections. Its distinctive white, orange, and yellow layers scream Halloween and harvest season, making it one of the most recognizable sweets of autumn.

But how did candy corn become such a seasonal sensation? First produced in the 1880s by the Wunderle Candy Company, this sugary treat was initially intended to resemble corn kernels and appeal to farmers. The recipe has remained relatively unchanged, made with sugar, corn syrup, and a marshmallow-like texture that keeps fans coming back every year. The National Confectioners Association even reports that over 35 million pounds of candy corn are produced annually!

Why do people love it so much? Part of the appeal lies in its simplicity. For many, it’s a nostalgic taste of childhood, bringing back memories of trick-or-treating and fall celebrations. Others love the soft, chewy texture and the balance of sweetness it delivers in each bite. It’s also a treat that sparks debate: is it best eaten one color at a time or enjoyed all at once?
