Candy Corn Remix

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

Today's post is all about candy corn. Are you wrinkling up your nose in distaste? Don't close the browser window just yet! We're not talking about plain, waxy candy corn. We're talking about candy corn remixed, and that makes all the difference. Still not convinced? Patience. All will be explained in good time.

Do you have lots of leftover Halloween candy clogging your cupboards and loitering in the back of your mind at all times, whispering "Eat me, eat me...I know you want to..."? Well, I don't. Because I've reached a horrible stage of life in which I am too old to go trick-or-treating myself and yet too young to have kids of my own to steal candy from use as an excuse to go take trick-or-treating.

I saw this on Tumblr and identified with it immediately:

To console myself, I bought a bag of candy corn and pretended it was leftover from Halloween. It sort of was - I bought it on November 1st, from a depressingly cleaned out and deserted Halloween section at Target. I think I saw a tumbleweed roll by while I was there. It was made out of strands of synthetic hair that had been shed by many a wig during the Halloween rush.

But the truth is, there's really no excuse for me to eat an entire bag of candy corn by myself, no matter how great my post-adolescent angst. I'm guessing you might feel the same way. That's why Audrey and I have come up with two fun and unexpected ways for you to get that candy corn out of your cupboard and put it to good use!
