October 30th is National Candy Corn Day! Coming just a day before Halloween, National Candy Corn day will get you all set and prepped for fall’s favorite holiday! While this beloved fall treat is mainly associated with Halloween, did you know the tri-colored candy
?
George Renninger of the Wunderle Candy Company created candy form in the 1880’s! His idea was to mimic the look of a kernel of corn (bet you never noticed that one), which was an instant hit. Candy corn also goes down in the books as one of the first candies to feature three different colors all in one bite. While it can be eaten at any time of the year, candy corn is the universal sweet treat during the Halloween season. So grab a handful and celebrate!
