It’s interesting how candy corn has become such a Halloween staple considering, A – It’s available year-round, B – many people hate it, and C – candy corn doesn’t come individually wrapped, making it a poor choice to hand out to trick-or-treaters.

Ingredients:
You can also throw in other vegetables. I’ve made it with diced mushrooms, bell peppers would be good, etc.
