- Remove from liners and leave in clumps for individual snacks, or crumble with your fingers to make a bowl o' candy popcorn fun!
Truth be told, I’m not a candy person. Give me chocolate any day of the week, but gummies and hard candies I can do without.Candy corn however….
I know they’re just little nuggets of corn syrup and dye, but there’s something about those sugary triangles (especially when purchased fresh at a candy shop) that are irresistible – especially when paired with popcorn (again something I’m not usually crazy for) and my favourite sweet, chocolate.
Using three ingredients – pop corn, candy corn and white chocolate – this is a fun and colourful treat that’s a great addition to any halloween party.
As I mentioned above, candy corn is about the only candy I enjoy, and I’m not normally a popcorn fan. But I will admit to you that right now, as I write this Monday night with dinner bubbling away, that I can’t stop munching on the stuff.
What’s your vice? Candy, chocolate, or something else entirely?
Psst: I had a dilemma with these photos. I made the batch Sunday and planned to shoot them Monday after work, completely forgetting I had a workshop afterwards until the evening. A HUGE thanks to Ryan for taking the above photos for me!
I’ve never eaten candy corn! I haven’t seen it for sale over here before. This looks delicious. I’m currently trying to give up sugar so anything sugar is my vice 🙁
Ohh right we probably only get it here in North America since we’re the only ones who celebrate Halloween!
