Candy corn is a popular confectionary treat that features a distinctive tri-color design resembling an ear of corn. It is made from a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and marshmallow, resulting in a sweet and chewy texture. The candy's colors typically include a yellow base, an orange center, and a white tip, reminiscent of the kernels on a corn cob. Candy corn is often enjoyed during the Halloween season and has become a symbol of autumn festivities.
