A survey by Yahoo! Food reveals that the most hated Halloween candy are:
1) Licorice (18%)
2) Candy Corn (13%)
3) Raisins (13%)
Ok. I can get it if a kid gets a box of raisins. That’s kind of a letdown. Although as an adult, who doesn’t love them?
But I don’t get all the hate on Candy Corn.
By itself, it does not have the most robust flavor. But I learned a trick that forever changed my feelings and perceptions on the decades old candy.
Try this trick: Take 3 pieces of Candy Corn and 10 whole peanuts and eat them together. BOOM. This replicates the wonderful taste of a Pay Day bar perfectly. It’s identical. The new trick is becoming popular enough that I’ve seen a combo bowl of them displayed at Halloween parties. Want your mind blown? Add a small square of Hersey’s chocolate to the mix and now you have nirvana in your mouth.
Just trust me on this.
