Candy Corns

Who can resist the cheerful fall colors and creamy-sweet taste of candy corns? These sweet autumn confections have been a festive fall staple for over 100 years. Here's a few sweet facts about America's favorite fall candy:

More than 35 million pounds of candy corns will be produced this year. That's nine billion individual candy corns!

Candy corns were originally invented by George Renninger of Wunderlee Candy circa 1880.

In 1900, the Goelitz family began making “butter cream candies” or candy corns.

Because America was an agrarian society in the early 1900s, the corn shape of candy corns was an instant hit.

The three-colored candy was a novelty and the public literally ate them up.

Four generations latter, Herman Goelitz, Sr. started making jelly beans. His family company became Jelly Belly.

Individual candy corns have, on average, 6 calories each, and no fat.

A simple 30 minute walk will burn off 15 candy corns.
