Hmmm, Candy Corn... My late uncle, a man of great taste and distinction, once whipped out a jar of candy corn mixed with salted peanut halves that he carried while traveling. It sounds gross, but was very good. I actually used to love to mix it myself to put in a candy dish at work or wherever. Other people were doubting until they tasted it and became converts. It’s the only way I will eat nuts of any kind.
Last year, i made Martha white sweet yellow cornbread with a goodly portion of candy corn. It was halloween corn bread.
The candy sank to the bottom and stuck to the pan, but it was pretty good.
I have both and will give it a try. Reminds of my introduction to pepperoni/pineapple pizza. I thought it sounded odd but was hooked instantly.
