8 Days Until Halloween!!! Have you had your candy corn fix yet?

Some claim to hate them, others are freakishly obsessed.  Whichever CANDY CORN camp you support, you might as well embrace them as an integral element of Halloween.

Candy corn was introduced in the 1880's, first produced by Wunderle Candy Company.  The sweet treats have been tricked up since then to appeal to those who tire of the ordinary.   Brach's supports the love natural ingredients by adding real honey to their recipe.

Zachary's offers variety with the following new flavors: cherry, tangerine, raspberry, caramel, caramel apple, and cinnamon.  Visit their website to check them out:
