Celebrating Fall


My favourite part of fall has arrived: candy corn is back on the market. I always say a little prayer of thanks to the gods of free trade for making candy corn available here in Canada. Its blend of marshmallow, sugar and corn syrup makes candy corn both irrestistible and revolting at the same time. I crave it, even though I know it will make me nauseous. Candy corn is the hot dog of autumn.

Welcome, my waxen friend!
