Candy corn is now the least popular Halloween candy in America. I concur- kinda. By itself I believe it belongs in the trash.
However; if you add peanuts to the candy corn mix it changes the game entirely. It tastes like a Pay Day meets a Butterfinger. It. Is. Delicious.
I was at a party recently and I brought the candy corn/peanut mix and I thought to myself- why not add chocolate chips to the bowl. My thinking was that then it would really taste like a Butterfinger. I was so right. Add the chocolate was another game changer! This party mix was a total hit and now I am hooked.
I still stand by the notion that candy corn by itself belongs in the trash. It is waxy and too sweet. You add the peanuts and chocolate chips. Game. On!
