what flavor is candy corn

Candy corn is a small, pyramid-shaped candy typically divided into three sections of different colors, with a waxy texture and a flavor based on honey, sugar, butter, and vanilla. According to a spokesperson for Jelly Belly, the actual flavor of their candy corn is a blend of creamy fondant, rich marshmallow, and buttery caramel-like flavor notes. However, the ingredients list of candy corn products does not offer many clues, as most of them are made mostly of sugar, corn syrup, artificial flavorings, various artificial colorings, and soy protein as well as carnauba wax, presumably for texture. Overall, candy corn is known for its super-sweet, unique, and often polarizing flavor.
