October: National Candy Corn Month!

The best part of October, Candy Corns!

I picked up a Brach's mixed bag today. Ahh, so yummy. I really like the pumpkins, and while I don't love them enough to need a whole bag, I love to have the Indian corn mixed in. Also very good- mix candy corns with peanuts.

So, as a candy corn lover, you'll imagine my excitement when I saw this:

Yes, candy corn Hershey kisses. I really enjoy many of the Hershey kiss flavors. They have really branched out in the past few years. (Oh Peppermint, I shall write how I love thee nearer to Christmas). And the kiss, well it looks like a candy corn should:


Alas, it tastes not like colored chocolate, but like a wilton's candy melt. That is, not good. Too sweet, but without flavor. I am sad. I need to stop trying new products; Tofu Shirataki style disapppointment here.

However, Hyvee has a huge sale this morning and we got some more Newman's Own salsa: the Pineapple salsa and the Black Bean salsa are highly recommended, and I shall go console myself with a bowl of that, and my actual candy corns :)

Good to know, I was wondering about the candy corn kisses. I, also, ADORE the peppermint kisses!! This Christmas will be difficult because I need to not eat as many as I usually do and they're soooooo yummy.

I'm sad for you that it didn't taste any better :( but luckily, there's still the real thing! The tofu shirataki noodles were really that bad? What did Kevin make with them?

Aww, man! If you'd asked me about them, I could have averted your disappointment... My mom knows I love candy corn, so she got me a bag of the kisses last year. I tried a few and ended up using them on top of pumpkin bars instead.
