Candy Corn- a love/hate relationship

Now that Halloween has come and gone, the candy still remains. Candy that was leftover from trick or treating and the other candy. You know, the stuff you buy on November 1 because it's 50-75% off. The stuff you normally don't buy and keep around the house. You know... Candy Corn!

I've always had a hot and cold relationship with the seriously sweet fake maize. Don, on the other hand, can't seem to get enough of it. I go through phases of loving it one year and despising it the next. The year I found out it was made with honey was the worst, resulting in a multi-year boycott. Honestly, these days I can take it or leave it. I had my obligatory 5 or 6 pieces this year to confirm whether or not I actually like candy corn. Meh... it was o.k. If it suddenly disappeared from the planet, I don't think I'd miss it. (Well, I would miss using it as fake teeth, but that's about all. I'll stick to my chocolate, thank you very much.)
