>>6830577
Ditto. Same thing with circus peanuts.

>>6830567
Circus peanuts are worse.

>>6830606
Circus peanuts are at leat tolerable

Other holiday candy that are absolute shit tier.

Why the fuck are they already hawking stupid Halloween shit. They don't even start the Christmas marketing this many months in advance.

>>6830567
If you mix them with peanuts they're actually pretty good

Awful candy general?

>>6831038
Fuck off with your generals, crossboarder.

>>6831038
Stop disliking what I like!

>triggered

>>6831009
I think it's the only time they generate sales

you can do way worse than candy corn you nancy

>>6831026
This. My weird as fuck grandparents told me about this over the summer.
Also, if you stack candy corn pieces, you make a corn.

>>6830567

My friend, if you believe that is he worst candy, then you must not be from China.

Perhaps one day you will venture to try Chinese Haw Flakes.

Worst candy in the world coming through

>>6831286

No. Worst is Haw Flakes.

>>6831273
>>6831292
what the hell do they even taste like?

>>6830567
wtf is "ass candy"?

>>6831273
Those are actually pretty good.

>>6831296
They taste like dry up Haw. Not sure if have Haw in USA. Is taste like flakes of how burning food smell.

In China, you don't know Haw Flakes is bad candy. You think Haw Flakes is ok, share with friend, have as reward for make best math test.

But, then you eat USA or Islam of Europe (not sure if Islam or Christian?) chocolate candy and is change your mouth.

Then you see Haw Flakes and say "is just flakes of haw with terrible flavor."

>>6831303
candy corn

These fucking things

>>6831334
I like haw flakes more than the average cheap chocolate. Although when I gave some to my American friend, he said they tasted like pee.

>>6831334
You're right, the dominant religion / culture in Europe is Islam now. Just crossed over with Christianity / European culture within the last 5 years.

>>6831584
Is this true? I thought the number of practicing Muslims was equal to Christians across Europe, not more than.

>>6831595
Varies by nation.

I raised my daughter catholic, but she married a Muslim man and she has become very devout, so my grand children and forward will practice Islam. In the future I believe it will be more prevalent. I am not Muslim myself, but I believe diversity enriches us.

>>6831584
Not yet, but increasing. A damn shame Been my experience Islam professes peace. tolerance and love, until they gain a majority. Then it's sharia law, and my way or the blade.Worst candy vote is for those orange marshmallow peanut things.

>>6831603
Thanks for that story shlomo goldstien

Necco Wafers are a candy made by the United States-based New England Confectionery Company (Necco). Necco Wafers were first produced in 1847 and are considered by Necco to be its core product.[2] Each roll of Necco Wafers contains eight flavors: lemon (yellow), lime (green), orange (orange), clove (purple), cinnamon (white), wintergreen (pink), licorice (black), and chocolate (brown). The ingredients in Necco Wafers are sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, gums, colorings, and flavorings.

>>6831009
Early by 1 month and some change is hardly anything to get triggered over. How else do you propose I hit a 90+% sell though off a 300k order if not by having set by sept 1st.

Yes, like I said a little over a month early. Or would you really consider Oct 1st as too early still.

>>6830644
>>Cadbury eggs
Take that back!

>>6831515
Those are the best. The clove, licorice, and chocolate ones are my favorite.

>>6831009
so fat people have an excuse to buy it without feeling as guilty

they'll roll up with a bunch of candy to the qt3.14 cashier and pretend like they aren't going to devour it all as soon as they get home

they trick themselves into thinking other people judge them less because now there is a "reason" to buy candy other than being fat

>>6831273
these are good, though

>>6831296
Sour and caramelized fruit? It's an acquired taste, I only like it because I grew up eating it

>>6831635
>muslims

this shit right here

Haven't had these, but I've had the watermelon pops with chili powder on top.

Terrible. The spice and sweetness doesn't mix at all.

I'd imagine chilipowder and HFCS on a spoon would be worse.

>>6832004
That shit is disgusting !

>>6832231
Get a load of this faggot. Licorice is awesome. I used to buy ropes of that stuff before America evidently unilaterally decided that no candy shop may ever carry actual licorice.

>>6831971
>not knowing what taqiyya is
>not even knowing that it's a Shia doctrine and that the vast majority of Muslims don't believe in it

I'm not even Muslim and this shit pisses me off.

>>6831286
Really? I used to devour these when I was a kid

Black licorice should be outlawed, however

>>6831297
you are a pleb and should toss yourself into a rageing fire.

>>6832256
Literally everything you said is a lie

>>6832249
Can't remember the brand name but look for "Australian style" licorice. It isn't sold in long strands but they're big chunks. They've got black licorice and red, both good

>>6830644

those Japanese DIY candies are pretty nasty. they're kinda neat though.

>>6830644
I don't mind the hearts, they're alright

i thought the pic was peanut m&m's. i would've agreed

>>6831334
holy shit I used to eat the shit out of this as a kid

>>6832308
this. first i thought i'd gotten a bad packet, but every hershey's product has tasted like curdled milk or something.

A year or so ago thst company sold bags of them mixed with peanuts, I really liked that. Especially because nobody bought them at the place I was working at so I got a shitton of bags for 75% off after Halloween.

Some of the alternative flavor ones sound really gross though. I've seen s'mores, peanut butter cup and fruity flavored candy corn so far.

>>6830581
>>6830606
>>6830644

I've only ever seen them; what do they taste like? Peanuts? I hope.

>>6830567
That's not circus peanuts.

>>6832941
banana

>>6833033

What type fam? I'm from une island. Taste like our American banana, or plantain?

>>6832995
We can never be friends.

Image is taking too long to load. Jist gonna assume it's milk duds and OP isn't a burden on society

>>6831297
They give me the shits bruh but I eat them anyway because they're cheap as fuck and can be bought in bulk.

>>6833360
Its candy corn

Did someone say the worst candy in the universe?

>>6830567
Those aren't candy peanuts

>>6831672
why the fuck is clove a flavor?

>>6833503
leave. now.

>>6833503
Agreed, these are fucking disgusting

>>6832393
Yes peanut cookies are great. It's a weird texture, almost powdery. I love it though.

>>6830644
Fuck those hearts, they tasted like dried wax dipped in sugar. Easily as disgusting as candy corn

>>6831691
Basically Halloween "season" is the candy company's Christmas. Also many see the entire month of September as apart of Autumn, though it doesn't start until late in the month, thus Halloween "season".

>>6833503
Leave

>>6830567
Those aren't Baby Ruth's.

>>6830567
this shit... there is sweet, and then there is disgustingly sweet

>>6834373
They burn my mouth

Anything resembling or like these. Whoever invented this disaster should have a special layer of hell reserved for them.

>>6830644
Cadbury eggs are the worst I think. Can't eat one without shivering from how disgustingly sweet they are

>>6832256
wow this shit checks out actually
thanks for red-pilling me, /ck/

>>6834444
The quads confirm

>>6831971

This is the Jew nonsense from 9/11/01. Count the Jews involved in 9/11. 2% of the population demonizing 20% of the population? NICE. "By way of deception..."

>>6833514
>why the fuck is clove a flavor?

Because they're the worst candies on Earth.

>>6831672
>>6834467
I like necco wafers....

What does candy corn taste like? And why is it associated with Halloween?

the caramel candy corn is so much better than the original

>>6834481
They have a pleasant distinct sweet taste. The colors are of the fall and therefore Halloween since halloween is the closest America has to a fall harvest holiday.

This stuff, chewing resin (spruce). Tastes just like you'd be chewing on a piece of wood.

i can't believe these are still made anymore

>>6834509
Does it taste like corn?

>>6834982
One company originally called them chicken feed. It doesn't taste like either.

>>6834465

>>6834982
it taste like cheap honey

>>6830581
Did circus peanuts change the recipe? My mom used to love them and I would sneak them from her drawer and devour them. Now I can't quite like the. They are too plasticy and stick the the teeth to forcefully. It might just be that I'm getting old and as bones stop growing, sugar tolerance wanes.

Bong here
What is the texture of Candy Corn?
Slightly crisp shell and then chewy interior?

>>6835286
it's not crunchy. just kinda waxy. same texture throughout.

>>6835286
The outside is sleek and almost like plastic. Not exactly a shell. Once you break into it the candy has a sort of grainy texture.

>>6835333
I guess chewy could describe the "inside."

>>6835320
>>6835333
thank you for your responses
i am gagging

>>6833503
get out

I can't make myself eat this stuff, way too sweet.
last time I was offered some I tried to eat it, failed, and re wrapped it to put in my pocket. terrible substance in every way

>>6835344
Until you try it you won't be able to tell whether it is pleasant or not though the descriptions can make it sound appalling.

>>6833503
Please leave.

>>6835344
home-made candycorn is miles ahead of the store stuff but it's just not halloween without a little bowl of the brach's candycorn on a table somewhere. In theory it tastes of honey or something.. eh.

I want to make candycorn myself this year but skip the coloring and corn-shaping in favor of making a mold and pressing it into sugar-skull shapes or assorted bones.

>>6835487
Do you make your own marshmallows as well?

>>6835487
Post recipes

>>6835498
Ive attempted marshmallows twice, never quite got the right stability/set. I partially blame my kitchen due to it's insistence on being a million degrees as soon as the range is turned out. The rest of the blame is me certainly.

Unstable marshmallow fluff toasted on chunky chocolate-chip cookie was a-ok though.

>>6835517

I've not made it myself yet but the home-made candycorn I had was based on http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/candy-corn-recipe.html , from the All Hallows Eats episode. That's where I intend to start on the chewy bones.

The worst candy are those caramel things with cream in them. The idea sounds perfect but all the ones I've had were just shit

>>6835657
They're not so bad.

>>6833503

>>6831296
Strong fruit flavor, slightly sour with overtones of over-ripeness. They're actually not bad IMHO.

>>6830567
You shut your whore mouth.

so that's what the mystery purple flavor is...

Now I want some Necco Wafers

Good job being an accidental shill.

>>6830581
Circus Peanuts are that one candy where I eat one and immediately regret buying them, but purchase another bag another month or two later.

Being from the northeast, anything from Necco is fucking disgusting. The wafers suck, skybars are fucking awful and mary janes are a let down.

What's the best Haribo?

these are decent but the wrapper always sticks to them.

>>6836902
i like the spaghetti.

>>6836862
>skybars
>awful

naw fam

>>6830567
i;m not sure how that company is even still in business, must be some fuckery afoot.

>>6831009
The store I work at had Christmas items delivered last week

>>6836965
halloween is the only thing stopping these animals

>>6836906
>not eating them with the wrapper

>>6834513
Jesus Christ. The most deranged fiction about what Scandinavians eat is nothing compared to the truth.

>>6832170
Why are they re-branding De la Rosa mazapan?/

>>6834509
Thanksgiving?

>>6837380
Thanksgiving is two months into fall and well past harvest. It is only less than a month away from winter.

>>6834513
Honestly that sounds kind of interesting to me.

>>6831672
>>6834469
>>6836862
I fucking love Necco wafers. They're one of my favorite candies.

>>6831273
Basically it tastes like ketchup, just dry and with the texture of freeze dried strawberries. I grew up eating them so I can stand it, but a lot of people hate those shits.

>>6832308
>>6832567
They intentionally use acid from rancid butter/buttermilk to stabilize and curdle the dairy earlier in the process. After a few decades of Merifats being conditioned to think chocolate should be grainy like bad cheese and sour like bad milk they keep adding it for "tradition".

>>6834513
Kåda is great, fuck you

>>6830567
Get the fuck out of my country.

Schlumpfe, definitely

It can be. But not that brand.

>>6830567
Yuro here. What is candy corn like?
Are there any people who've lived in both Europe and USA that know of any comparable sweets?

>>6830577
How about belly flops instead....hehe

>>6831303
your candy "ass"

>>6837326

Bit O Honey is good. You are wrong, sir.

>>6837797

They're like mildy sweet little waxy sugary wedges.

Their flavor is unique. I wouldn't know how to describe it. It's absolutely distinct but not aggressive. I can see how people don't like them, but hate is pretty strong for something so unoffensive. Candy corn is something you must have at Halloween. It's an inseparable part of the tradition.

>>6830567
Don't mind me, greatest of all time just passing through

>>6837797
>What is candy corn like
corn syrup

>>6837326
>Low in fat
>3g or less per 40g

So...nearly 8% pure fat?

>>6837919
normally chocolate is like 30%+ fats by weight, with the higher % dark chocolates being more than half fats by weight.

I'd be concerned I'm being sold something that's barely pretending to be chocolate if it was only 8% fat

>>6837912
the car has the face of a skull, this is far too dangerous for children!

>>6836906
Fuck those shits, I've chipped teeth in my youth because of these candied hardtack.

>>6830567
I like the pumpkins.

I also had some Pumpkin Spice candy corn last year that I really liked.

>>6831334
this post is hilarious but it gave me cancer

>>6830567
You'll get a riot out of this comedic video on candy corn anon. I guarantee you'll love it, and he's spit on about candy corn.

>orange marshmallow peanut things.
circus peanuts. not certain i've ever tasted them in my life but since they're marshmallows i'm certain they taste like pure sugar and peanut oil.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MepXBJjsNxs

>>6834481
waxy texture, sweet, doesn't taste like corn. all the flavor comes from the corn syrup. people consider them gross because they're sold in bulk because of how cheap they are to make and how difficult it is to eat a ton at once. i recommend trying some someday but i assure you you're not missing out.

>>6838796
first thing i thought of when i saw the thread

>>6830567
Has anyone on /ck/ ever tried melting candy corn down and using it to make a candy corn cake?

Worst.

op here, wow surprised this is still alive

>>6832863
That was last year, this year brachs didn't send me any.

>>6832995
I enjoy circus peanuts in moderation

>>6833514
thought the same thing. also their coloring scheme seems to be way off base.

>>6834481
>What does candy corn taste like?
like i said in the op, candied ass

>>6834502
these go by 'Indian corn' in my region

>>6834929
Jesus Christ yes, i forgot about these. fucking people still ask for them and they sell out fast.

>>6835700
agreed, they can be good in small amounts.

>>6837903
indeed

>>6837912
a tourist once came into my store asking for these, i had to explain to her that they cant be sold in the us because they don't meet us regulations. lol

>>6838401
the pumpkins are exactly the same as the corn just in pumpkin shape, even fucking worse.

>>6839309
shut your whore mouth

one more pass
>>6838796
thank good sir. gave me a hearty kek

>>6832170
my whole hispanic candy section just make me wonder and shake my head. chili on everything, what i can only assume is tree bark flavor. i can bring myself to try any of it at all.

>>6832004
I was talking to my Hershey vendor hand he agreed. how on earth was this flavor ever decided was good, not only good, but good enough to be make into candy.

>>6833551
My Halloween order is split up into 3 'holidays' >Back to School

Necco wafers are alright if they're new. If they sit for a while the clove ones eventually permeate the whole roll and you end up with a whole bunch of nasty fuckin' chalk shit.
