The people who hate candy corn. And the people who can't live without it.
If you are fall into the latter -- and wait! perhaps even if you are in the former group -- this recipe is for you. It's relatively easy, it's preservative-free (can you imagine the shelf life of candy corn and what makes it that way?!) and it's delicious. It's also an excellent conversation piece at a party.
