Earlier this week one of my good friends posted the following cartoon from The New Yorker, which gave me the idea for today’s sobremesa:
I also like you, candy corn!
Personally, I think candy corn gets a bad rap. I wouldn’t say it’s my favorite candy, but it’s far from my least favorite (that prize goes to licorice, which I can’t stand, no matter how many times I try it). Tootsie Rolls seem to be another treat at the bottom of most lists, but the Midgees used to be a staple in my office snack drawer.
Now it’s your turn: What do you think is the most underrated Halloween candy? If you don’t celebrate Halloween, what is the most underrated candy in general? I’m eager to read your choices in the comments!
Candy corn is so weird to me because it's such a controversial sweet. I can't even figure out what flavour it is! My favourite are Swizzels Fruity Pops and Blow Pop lollies. I don't know why, but I never had them at another other time.
Whoppers get such a bad rep but I love them!

What?! I ADORE Tootsie Rolls. Also: please explain what it is exactly you like about candy corn because I honestly think you're insane for this!!!
That cartoon! 🤣 (I’m not a candy corn lover) I think the most underrated candy is a box of Raisinets! Love chocolate covered raisins ✨
Candy corn has never been a fav for me either. I do remember Abba Zaba bars and how special they were when I got one for Halloween.
