Happy Halloween With Brach's Candy Corn

It's Fall. What do you think of when it comes to fall and the traditions? I always think of Halloween and Thanksgiving. Having said that, what goes along with both of those? Candy Corn. I just sang those beautiful words. Yes, those little tasty corn kernel shaped yummies that make a centerpiece for a table more festive.


Brach's sent me traditional candy corn but also sent Sea Salt Chocolate , Caramel Macchiato, Apple Mix, Autumn Mix, Peanut Butter Cup, Indian Corn, Caramel, and the new ones I have never seen before Double Crunch Maple Almonds.

They are so versatile too. Using them as a decoration on cupcakes, cake, or in your hand, it all goes together. There are so many flavors now too!! I remember when I was a just a little guy, my grama always had candy corn out for us.

When I had the opportunity to share this years' awesome flavors of Brach's Candy Corn with my awesome readers, I had to do it. I was so excited. Man, they really loaded me up too. I had NO IDEA there were so many amazing flavors now. They aren't even just the standard orange, yellow, and white.


Using these awesome candies as a decoration or as a craft is so much fun. We made a few different kinds of cupcakes with yellow and white frosting and made faces and borders with the candy corn. It was really fun to share something I love so much from my childhood with my kids.

Crafts with candy corn work pretty much the same way. They work well with Elmer's Glue and hot glue. The bright fall colors make so many more idea. One thing that I think is a great idea is the extra Christmas bulbs for crafting, will look so cute filled with the mini candy corn.

  2. I had no idea they made that many varieties of candy. I'll have to see if I can find some sea salt chocolate to try!
