When it comes to candy corn, there are definitely two camps: the lovers and the haters. I find myself on the love side, which means that I get a lot of them all to myself around Halloween, since almost no one else I know enjoys them as much. The basic recipe is for a slightly honey-flavored candy made with sugar, corn syrup (not high fructose corn syrup, incidentally), honey and some gelatin. The ingredients list artificial flavors, but it is clear that the main added flavor is vanilla and, if you take the time to appreciate it for a moment, the overall flavor is a good one. The problem with candy corn is that you can tire of them quickly because of the amount of sugar and the lack of variety as you eat piece after piece. Fortunately for candy corn fans, there are some gourmet alternatives to the classic. Mentioned on both Candy Addict and Candy Blog this week were Galerie Gourmet Goodies Candy Corn. The slightly upscale corn comes in three new flavors: cherry, green apple and tangerine. Judging from the reviews, the flavors sound good, if not earth shattering. The colors, on the other hand, might just make you look twice, especially if you're expecting the classic orange, yellow and white combination.
