Candy Corn - NY Spice Shop

Candy corn is one of the most familiar confectionery products, especially before, during, and after the Halloween celebration. Its cut plane has three colors – white, orange, and yellow- now synonymous with autumn. However, to many people’s surprise, candy corn is not only about its primary shape but also its rich history. NY Spice Shop has the regular candy corn but has jazzed it up with sugar-coated gummy candy corn and milk chocolate candy corn, respectively. 

The Origins of  Candy Corn:

When agriculture was a dominant element in the American economy, such an amusing spin on the agricultural product of the day made it an instant success, especially with children and young people. This sweet was invented by a company employee named George Renninger, and it did not take long for the other Confectionery Company to replace Wunderlee in the manufacture of candy corn. Thanks to the essential ingredients such as sugar, corn syrup, and a drop of honey, as well as the product’s distinctive tri-coloring system, the candy was tasty and pleasant. Eventually, candy corn was most closely linked to Halloween, but it is a link that is still made today.

The Original Classic Timeless Candy Corn Treat of All Time:

Original candy corn has remained quite the same since the time it was invented. Its white, shades of orange, and yellow exterior is symbolic to the kernels of corn, but sometimes it switched up to different colors according to occasions ( Red, White and Green for  Christmas ) or ( White, Pink or Red as Valentine Candy Corn ),  It has a mild sweetness to its taste and nostalgic in where it comforts.

Another thing that plays in favor of the candy corn’s story is the fact that it is very diverse. It is a candy that can be eaten on its own, or be incorporated in various recipes or as garnishes. For a bowl of Halloween sweets, to topping cupcakes, to just eating plain candy corn gives this feeling of fun and celebration.

NY Spice Shop’s version of the beloved but lackluster candy corn


It is for these reasons that NY Spice Shop has since embraced candy corn due to the never-ending demand for it and also extended its variety. Thus, each of the two versions is aimed at the preference of everybody thus enabling people to enjoy their respective candy corns.
