So I know we talk about this every fall...
but it's time. To have the candy corn discussion. I know there isn't much new to bring to the table. Some people love candy corn. Some people think it tastes like wax. That is pretty much the only two sides there are .
But...I bring you exhibit A: Click here. We bought some of these last week and I think it finally may bridge the gap between the LCC/HCC divide. Now, people who have previously fallen in the "hate candy corn" category because they hated the waxy texture, *may* in fact be able to enjoy the candy corn flavor without the odd way it makes your lips feel, not to mention how you want to take a hot shower after partaking in half a bag. I'm not really expecting to convert anyone. But you must. try. these hershey kisses.

No. that is just wrong. Just wrong.
Candy corn rocks....but I don't like the chocolate candy corn. And you shouldn't go messing with a girl's Kisses like that. They.must.have.real.chocolate (none of that fake sissy white 'chocolate' stuff that really isn't chocolate). I'm a purist like that lol.

The only thing it's got going, is that it's not ACTUAL candy corn. Blegh. *dislike*

I'm definitely in the ewwwwww category...especially when the reader described the taste as "black licorice." Candy corn is BAD. Licorice is worse. White chocolate is best reserved for oatmeal chocolate chips (w/ milk chocolate chips, of course) and pretzels.

okay, I'll hear your CC is gross...but I'll raise you that these taste NOTHING like black licorice. Black licorice was a cruel joke by mean old men who hated children.

I like candy corn. I read a candy blog last year that said the kisses were kind of nasty. I personally think chocolate should stick with being chocolate and candy should stick with being candy and not try to be the other.

Um, I just like candy. *shrug*
ETA: I will say I've had them both. They're nothing like the other... but I love them both! And candy corn with peanuts is a must have about now.

I'm trying to figure out why you'd want to ruin the taste of perfectly good candy corn by combining it with chocolate.
 I LOVE candy corn though, to the point that I won't allow myself to buy it before Oct 1st because otherwise I'll eat WAY too much of it.

ummm I dont really like candy corn. Ill eat like a few pieces but I love the mellowcreme mix with the pumpkins. I eat all the pumpkins. Now I am going to have to look for those hershey kisses. I doubt we will have them here though. My question is do they have regular chocolate in them at all? I hate hershey kisses so I know I wont like them if they are just like the hugs are with a chocolate center (YUCK!!) Last year my husband and I went to Daytona Beach and they have this candy store there that makes homemade saltwater taffy and they have like a million flavors and one of the flavors was candycorn. It was yellow/orange and white too just like candycorn and it was DELICIOUS!!! Nobody could hate them!!

Never tried candy corn - it sounds like its only on your side of the Atlantic! Is it like popcorn, only shaped? I don't really like the look of the chocolate version...
I'll stick to toffee apples until you start exporting candy corn for us to try

We adore candy corn (though we like the pumpkins best of all!) but that doesn't look that yummy. However...I will try any kind of Kiss, so I might pick these up to try. Only if you swear to me that they don't taste like black licorice! That's just not cool and I will be very upset if they do!

Grody. Candy Corn is NOT good. And those Kisses seem like a rotten way to ruin a good piece of chocolate.

I forgot to come back to this thread to update you all. I'm so sorry. I know you've all been waiting on baited breath to hear my opinion on this. LOLOLOLOL
So, I got the hershey's candy corn kisses and I don't like them. My teenage son is loving them though, however he likes white chocolate and I don't. So, my official opinion is that if you hate white chocolate, stay away from these.

Well I used to be on the LCC side....until DS's peanut allergy! All Brach's candy is out for us since it is all manufactured on the same equipment as peanuts.(in Mexico) So add candy corn to the list of candy we cannot eat (M&M's, Twix and just about any chocolate other than plain Hershey Kisses)! I will have to check out a bag of these to read the allergy info, but I doubt it since it is a "mix" of flavors. I know most people don't have this issue (and a year ago we "didn't") but darn-it, cannot manufacturers use different machines for the non-nut ones!!!!
Sorry...pity party for one please!

For you that don't have it (it is more of a North America/USA thing because of the old indian corn back in the day and we make candy out of anything) here is a picture:
 They are UBER sweet and slight maple syrup flavor and very waxy in texture on the outside and a little inside. But if you like to eat them, they are ridiculously addictive. Put a bowl out at the office and they are gone in less than an hour! But they are not to die for like real chocolate, or tiramassu or creme brule, just hopelessly addictive for some of us! They only have them out in Autumn here so they kinda mark that time of year for us. Hope that explains it better, but don't worry...you aren't missing out that much! They def aren't worth the international postage!

I bought the candy corn ones and the caramel apple ones. The caramel apple kisses were dabomb!! I bought several bags of both to send to Jenn up Canada, and left two bags out while dh and I were gone over the weekend. My boys devoured both bags, so even though they weren't crazy about the candy corn ones, it didn't stop them from eating them!!
Now, I'm just waiting for the weather to not be over 100 degrees so I can send the chocolate to Jenn. That was something I totally forgot about!! LOL!!

I picked up a bag @ Target the other day and they are yummy, and I'm not usually a fan of white chocolate (& they taste nothing like black licorice)! I want the caramel apple kind too but didn't want to go back to the Halloween candy area, I was afraid I'd end up with an entire cart full of candy
so I stuck to what was on an end cap by the registers lol!
