    I honestly hate that candy. I think it stems from when I was a kid and one year thats all we got at Holloween - handfuls and handfuls of that stuff at every door. I still remember puking my guts up after eating a ton of that crap. I could never eat another one again. :(

    "Ingredients
    Confectioner's sugar, 2½ cups
    Regular sugar, 1 cup
    Corn syrup, ⅔ cup
    Salt, ¼ teaspoon
    Vanilla extract, one teaspoon
    Unsalted butter, ⅓ cup
    Food coloring
    Method

    In order to prepare candy corn, you have to mix powdered milk, confectioner's sugar and salt in a bowl and keep it aside. Take a saucepan and combine regular sugar, corn syrup and butter and boil this mixture over high heat. You have to continuously stir this mixture, till it boils. Once it boils, reduce the heat and cook it for another five minutes. After that, turn off the heat and mix the vanilla extract to this mixture. Now, add the mixture of powdered milk and confectioner's sugar, mix well and let it cool. Once the dough is cool, divide it into three parts, to which three different colors have to added. Knead the dough separately, so that the color gets evenly distributed. The next step is to roll this dough into three differently colored ropes of around ½ inch thickness. Place these dough ropes next to each other and gently press them together with a rolling pin. Now, cut it in triangles and let the candy corn set for at least one hour. "

    IMO - The only thing worst on halloween then getting a handful of candy corns in your bag is.... a handful of pennies
