NATIONAL CANDY CORN DAY
National Candy Corn Day is observed annually on October 30th. It may be the sweetest National Day of the year.
Candy Corn was created by George Renninger of Wunderle Candy Company in the late 1800s to represent the bright colors of corn kernels. Originally, Candy Corn was yellow, orange and white, but Is now popular in many other colors as well.
Originally made by hand using corn syrup, sugar, water, marshmallows, fondant and carnauba wax (a wax made from the leaves of a palm tree), Candy Corn is now produced using machines but still with the original ingredients.
