Candy Corn – Older Than You Think!

Chicken Feed or Chicken Scratch, AKA candy corn, first made its appearance in the 1880’s by the Wunderlee Candy Company. The striped design with orange, yellow, and white coloring is original and was a somewhat complicated feat for the time period. Workers were often burned trying to successfully pour the hot colored sugar into the molds.

Candy Corn Wasn’t Always a Halloween Classic…

Definitely a controversial candy – some love it and some hate it, like circus peanuts or black licorice. But did you know candy corn was originally conceived as a summertime snack? Candy corn started to show up at early Halloween parties and has been a Halloween favorite ever since. All the colors of the harvest, delicious all year round! Comes in a 4oz heat sealed bag with the history on the label.
