October 30th is National Candy Corn Day! Candy corn has always been a favorite of mine. As I was munching on some candy corn a few years back, I decided to find out the history of candy corn. The history is more interesting than you might imagine. Now that I know what I know, I order my candy corn from the originators, the Goelitz family. Print this history and worksheet for a sweet homeschool study. Do a taste test, see if you can tell the difference in the brands. Try some of the recipes by About.com guides, even try making your own candy corn.

This is a great piece of information and fun! However the link to print the PDF isn’t working. It just loops you to the October fun days calendar. I would like to use this worksheet on Thursday. Thanks for making it possible. It’s great for kids who aren’t excited over the scary part of Halloween!
I can’t get the History of Candy Corn pdf to print. I would lived to have had this today. Thanks for a great site, though…
Sorry about that. The link is fixed now. Enjoy!
