Candy corn
A kind of candy
About
Candy corn is a small, tri-colored fall confection measuring under an inch long and weighing a fraction of an ounce.
Designed to mimic a dried corn kernel, candy corn is noticeably smaller than mellowcream pumpkins, which are made from the same dense sugar recipe. Factory molds keep the size consistent across commercial batches, with little variation from piece to piece. Because each kernel is so compact, a standard one-pound bag contains well over two hundred individual pieces.
From Wikipedia
Candy corn is a candy typically divided into three sections of different colors. It is a staple candy of the fall season and Halloween in North America.
