One time, after Halloween, the local store had candy corn on clearance sale, each container was 25 cents for a pound.
My gut suffered. Wax belly is awful. Yet I never learned.

We've all been there. I'm sure you're prepared with some pepto this year, I know I am
Is candy corn crunchy now? I always thought it was kind of soft and chewy... I haven't had any for a while though
It's a lot crunchier than liquid, but ideally no, not very.
The crunch is from your teeth breaking around the cavities.
If I'm remembering right it's between crunchy and chewy. I also remember it being particularly mealy which is why I don't particularly enjoy it.
sometimes i dont want my hands to get salty but snack on peanuts... guess how i go about that -_-
edit: chips can be easily dealt with using chopsticks btw. putting them in a large bowl first helps too, so the back of your hand doesnt get greasy either...
Try cracking them inside your mouth after putting them in a bowl and spitting the rest, like with sunflower seeds. The problem woukd be the amount of salt you are ingesting.
excuse me, i tried following your suggestions... now my bowl has a bitemark where i chipped off some of it, my mouth is bleeding (ceramic bowl), and chips and peanuts are everywhere.... i think i might need a doctor
j/k but what the hell do you mean "try cracking them inside your mouth?" roasted, salted peanuts are usually already husked.... and chips dont have a husk... im confused but dont need a doctor actually XD
I usually buy them with salted husk so they need to be cracked, just my preference though
i have never seen salted peanuts still with husk... whats the salts purpose in this case?
are we talking about the same species? Arachis hypogaea?
Yep, same species. I really don't know why they are salted while inside the husk but where I live you can get them with and without husk and some restaurants offer them husked and with salt.
Candy corn is absolutely irresistible like once every five years.
