Candy Corn: Love It or Hate It?
Even though it's not my favorite holiday, there are several reasons I look forward to Halloween, and one of them is candy corn. I can find only less-than-positive words to describe the waxy, cloyingly sweet, unnaturally butterscotch-y neon-covered morsels, yet once I get started, I can't stop eating them. How do you feel about the seasonal confection?

Candy-Off: Hershey's vs. Brach's Candy Corn
Happy National Candy Corn Day! This Halloween, grocery aisles have been stocked with two distinct types of my favorite seasonal candy: the traditional version made by Brach's, as well as a newer Hershey's rendition.
Last year, when I first tried the Hershey's candy corn, I thought it had a cloying aftertaste, and despite giving them a second chance, I still didn't care for them.

Think You Know Candy Corn?
Hershey's has just released a new seasonal kiss flavor: Candy Corn. I saw some in the Halloween display at Target and picked them up for the office to try.
The first thing I noticed was the smell: an overpowering in your face butterscotch-caramel odor, or as YumJimmy put it, "it smells like old people candy."
Jennifer Garner Has a Solo Girly Day Out
Jennifer Garner looked pretty in her LBD and heels hitting up some stores in LA yesterday — perhaps she's even getting a head start on holiday shopping! Jennifer looks happy in the LA sun and this week she's getting back into her routine with Violet and Seraphina. We didn't get to see Jennifer and the girls all dressed up for Halloween while they were in Boston visiting Ben, but Jennifer is still enjoying the goodies as she snacked on a bag of candy corn.
Must Read: Field Guide to Candy
With tomorrow being Halloween, we've unofficially opened the Pandora's Box that is Fall sweets season. That's why the Field Guide to Candy ($16) couldn't have come at a better time. Pastry chef Anita Chu, who authored the Field Guide to Cookies, has come out with a second book, which promises to teach you "how to identify and make virtually every candy imaginable."
Keep Those Wee Teeth Healthy This Halloween
Sure kids adore the costume aspect of Halloween but the number one reason why wee ones look forward to the ghoulish holiday? The hunt for candy. Chocolate bars, candy corn, and bags of Skittles can make a youngster hopelessly in love with sugar but leave their pearly whites in pain.
