Just in case you are baffled by this concept (I mean people are running out the door each Fall to hoard candy corn, saying things like “I just can’t get enough candy corn”…maybe not), I can assure you they are both very real. To add to the confusion of this concept, I heard the Candy Corn Oreos were only available at Target; however, I have since found them on Amazon, just in case you decide you want them in bulk.
Now, I do love candy corn (I’m not big on the pumpkins even though they are the same thing with a different shape) and I’m not sure why since I’m not really much of a candy eater, but I find myself indulging each Fall when the stuff hits the shelves. I saw the Candy Corn flavored Oreos earlier this week and I wondered…why would they do that? Then I saw that M&M had hopped on the candy corn bandwagon too. How do you make chocolate taste like candy corn? So I ran, well, drove slowly to my nearest Target and decided that I and anyone else in close proximity were going to try them.
Overall, these do not taste anything like candy corn, oh and of course I bought a bag of candy corn purely for comparison research. They weren’t panned as being bad by anyone who tried them except for me, but no one thought they tasted like candy corn. Just another way to up sales by making something suddenly seasonal.
What’s the worst traditional food you’ve eaten that has been bastardized for a holiday?
