As the crisp autumn leaves begin to fall and the air turns cooler, there's one iconic treat that signals the arrival of Halloween - candy corn. These colorful, triangular candies have been a staple of Halloween celebrations for over a century, and their enduring popularity is a testament to their sweet and nostalgic charm.
Candy corn, with its distinctive white, orange, and yellow layers, was first created in the late 1800s by George Renninger, an employee of the Wunderlee Candy Company. Back then, it was a labor-intensive process to make candy corn by hand, but it quickly gained popularity due to its deliciously sweet taste and unique appearance. It was originally called "chicken feed" due to its resemblance to grains of corn.
Today, candy corn is mass-produced, making it readily available in stores during the Halloween season. Its popularity is not only due to its taste but also because of the tradition associated with it.
