What it is
This is a popular confection typically enjoyed during the autumn season, especially around Halloween.

The texture is firm yet yielding, and the flavor is a sweet, honey-like taste with subtle vanilla notes. It is made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, and confectioner's glaze.

How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of the candy corn fresh, ensure the bag is sealed tightly after opening. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. This will help maintain its texture and prevent it from becoming hard or sticky. Avoid refrigeration, as this can alter its consistency.
