Do you know what today is????

It's National Candy Corn Day! That's right America, today is the day that we worship the iconic little treat that has been around for more than 100 years and long been associated with Halloween.

Here are some fun facts from the National Confectioners Association:
  • One serving of candy corn contains approx. 140 calories (which means that I could potentially eat 14 servings--and nothing else--in a day)
  • Candy corn is not just for Halloween anymore. Haven't you heard of Reindeer corn?
  • More than 35 MILLION pounds of candy corn (9 BILLION pieces) will be produced this year.

So let's hear it for the candy corn!
