Ode to…candy korn and those “mello” pumpkins
October 28, 2010
Candy korn. Why is it spelled that way? And did the bank Korn name themselves in homage to the deliciousness that is candy korn?
Mmm. Even if you hate it, I know you’ll eat just one. Just because. It’s tradition, right? I always buy a bag. I always feel sick after I shovel the entire bag in my mouth, a kernel at a time, like I’m a starving crow or something. But I still do it. Every year.
And I’m such a sucker, one year I was at the local greenhouse and I came across a candy korn plant. No kidding. I’ll freely admit my plant never looked this healthy. I can forgive the person who posted this picture for misspelling the name…because it’s korn with a “k” K?
But as much as I love those white tipped yellow and orange sugar triangles, I gotta confess…the little pumpkins are more to my liking. Probably because I don’t like real pumpkins and there is no pumpkin flavor at all in these little babies. Just pure sugar.

I prefer the Indian Candy Korn. It has the chocolate bottom . I am sure they had to spell it Korn because of the morons out there who would get confused and serve it with mash potatoes at Thanksgiving .

I confess candy korn has always been a favorite, and even now I eat each color seperately, just as I did as a kid, and as my daughter does now too.

It’s funny how everyone has their favorite, mine is the Harvest Korn. The kind with the chocolate on the bottom. Last year I discovered Carmel Korn and went nuts. This year I’ve had NONE! It’s one of those treats that if I buy it I will eat it until I’m sick so this year I didn’t buy any, but now I’m craving it. LOL! Thank goodness the season is almost over.
