Ok, I'm usually not a bigtime recipe posting kind of gal and I'm not even sure this qualifies BUT...
I went to a kiddy birthday party today and if you like those Payday candybars (if you don't there is something wrong with you by the way) well then THIS, my friends, is for you...
Get a big bowl of salted (shelled) peanuts and throw in a bag of candycorn and tada! There ya go!
Who likes to eat candy corn all by itself anyway? Yuck! Who knew it would be this good? And if you did, then WHY didn't you tell me?
This is truly an amazing discovery! It's also very colorful and festive!
Pardon my sticky-salty fingers.
"Munchy Alert" stuff IS great I just tried it. I placed the mix on the table in the hall. I wonder how long it will be there.... :-)

I like it with cashews too!

Have to admit, I'm a standalone candy corn kinda guy. But I'll try anything once...

Ooh, that sounds good to me... now. A friend told me the same thing a few weeks ago when we were discussing Halloween candy we'd bought lately (Her: Slo Pokes/Me: Bottle Caps), and I initially thought "ugh!" But now that you mention it tasting like Paydays, it DOES sound good. I can totally visualize the flavor now.
BTW, have you ever tried crumbling a fortune cookie over vanilla ice cream? Oh yeaaaaah, that's the good stuff!

My kids brought that idea home from school years ago. You're right, it's delish!

I hate to be corny, but this idea is nuts.

Yes...and WHY did I need to know this? I thank you, but my lower abdomen will not. ;)

Hey i surfed in on Blog explosion and I love the recipe. I actually came to the computer to find a recipe for a Halloween snack. Then I started surfing and then I .. well you know how addicting it all can be. Thanks for the recipe.

Hi Chana,
Thanks for typing in my head.
There was a guy in the dorms when I was in college who, if you came to his room, would ask you before anything else: "did you bring me candy corn?"
Thanks for wrenching me away from blog explosion: I have to go to the store now : )

Thanks a lot, that sounds way too good for me to resist! I'm limited in my candy options, because I don't like chocolate. I'll give this a try!!
