Candy Corn is a Weakness
I always buy a bag of candy corn after October 1st. It’s a rule. Never before the month of October… until this year. I don’t know what I was thinking, other than the fact that if I were to wait, I might not find a bag on, or after, October 1st and in a spontaneous fit, I snatched the bag up and threw it in the cart. That was fine and dandy, except I opened the bag as soon as we got home and ate handfuls of them while putting groceries away.

October: Month of Candy Corn
I have a thing, for lack of better words, about buying a bag of candy corn each year. I won’t allow myself to buy a bag until October 1st and it has to be Brach’s brand.

#NationalCandyCornDay
I support this hashtag and discovering that it is trending on social media has made my day! My dad loved him some candy corn! When my twin and I would get home from trick-or-treating he would “check the candy to make sure it is safe to eat.” But, really he just wanted to take all the candy corn out for himself. lol. I forget what granny would grab, and Mom never got in a hurry because she could grab as many caramel pieces as she wanted when we were at school. Each Halloween, I eat one very small bag of candy corn and I eat caramel all year round!
