I like it but I have to be in the mood for it. I like Mellowcremes too but that is getting harder and harder to find. A long time ago one of my high school teachers told us that if you take a bag of candy corn and mix it with an equal amount of salted peanuts and eat them together it tastes just like a Salted Nut Roll candy bar. And I’ll be dipped, she was right! So good.
Now there are a bunch of specialty flavors of it and I always end up buying a couple bags. I really like the s’mores flavored ones. I was just Googling it and saw that someone has a Fourth of July version that is raspberry lemonade flavored and I’m not gonna lie, I kind of want some now. 😋

Yes I like it. But, it must be eaten - white tip first, then orange, yellow last. I also like to decorate with it, in the fall, of course. 🤍🧡💛

I know a guy that loves it so much. When he was dating his now wife, she bought him some candy corn cufflinks. He loves them.
It is pretty sickening sweet, but I on occasion will eat some.

I think it's cute to look at, but hideous to eat.

I voted Oprah because I do love it, but can only eat 3 or 4 pieces of it at a time. I could probably eat a pound of chocolate in one sitting or a pint of ice cream or a whole cobbler, but 5 pieces of candy corn would put me over the edge. That being said, I do love it.

love it and mellocreme as well - and it's especially good mixed with salty treats in a trail mix

Pure sugar. LOL. Now mellocreme - love mellocreme candy. I can only find it in the fall in pumpkin shapes. I used to be able to find a red & white Valentine version, but that has been missing for the last few years.  |

So good. 😋 When I was in my 20s and working in downtown Chicago, those cases that keep peanuts warm would also contain candy corn in half of it, so the corn would get warm and soft-ish as well. Now I’m craving it! Yummmmmm! |

I love it, but also only in small doses. It must be the Brachs brand.
I’ve never heard of mellowcremes though

I will only eat it if it has been mixed with salted dry roasted peanuts.

I just ate a few left over pieces and there are still more in Pyrex sitting on my counter. Only four at a time!

No way can I eat it, but I do buy it every year because I like wearing them as fangs.

Mix it with peanuts and it tastes like a Payday.
Mix it with popcorn and it tastes like a popcorn ball.
It’s good with any bite-sized salty snack.

I buy a bag of it each fall for our family to share and that’s sufficient for us! I don’t love it but don’t hate it either. I’ll eat a few pieces and I’m good until the time fall rolls around next year.

I picked Oprah because I love it for about 4 to 6 pieces and then I am over it for awhile.

Love the stuff!
The only thing I like more is the pumpkins.
None of that “autumn mix” crap either! Must be brachs orang pumpkins with the green stem.

I tend to like a lot of candy that others hate. I do not judge. All sugar is good.  |

love it and mellocreme as well - and it's especially good mixed with salty treats in a trail mix We mix a bag of CC with a jar of roasted, salted peanuts, and YUM! ETA I am a CC snob, though. It has to be Brachs, not a store brand. There is definitely a difference—Brachs is not as “waxy” as store brand and is much much softerz |

They also make hearts/arrows for Valentine’s Day, chicks/bunnies for Easter, and assorted shapes for Christmas. |

Not only do I love candy corn, but I agree - eating with nuts (my favorite is almonds) is amazing.

I’m not a big fan but I do love it mixed with roasted peanuts because I love Paydays.
