Cruel joke for trick-or-treaters or coveted seasonal delight? You make the call!
NEW YORK — Cruel joke for trick-or-treaters or coveted seasonal delight? The great Halloween debate over candy corn is on.
When compared to top chocolate sellers and other popular confections, candy corn is niche. But few other candies have seeped into the culture quite like these pointy little sugar bombs.While other sweets have their haters , candy corn has launched a world of memes on social media. It inspires home decor and fashion. It has its knitters and crocheters, ombre hairdos, makeup enthusiasts and nail designs.
It's unclear when candy corn was invented. Legend has it that Wunderle Candy Co. in Philadelphia first produced it in 1888 in collaboration with a longtime employee, George Renninger. It was called, simply, Butter Cream, with one type named Chicken Corn. That made sense in an agrarian-society kind of way.
Hartel's students spend time in the lab making candy. The candy corn lab is among his most popular, he said, because it's fun to make. His unscientific poll of the nine seniors who last made candy corn turned up no strong feelings either way on actually eating it. “My fiancee can’t stand that I like candy corn," he said."I buy it and I get this look of disdain but I don't care. I just keep plugging on."
