National Candy Corn Day is celebrated on October 30, the day before Halloween, and is a divisive treat that has become synonymous with the holiday season. Utah ranked as the top state for candy corn sales in 2024, with Midwestern states also showing a strong affinity for the tri-colored candy. Despite its popularity, some surprising ingredients like gelatin and confectioner's glaze derived from bug secretion may be present in candy corn. The sweet treat, invented over 140 years ago, was initially marketed as "Chicken Feed" before becoming associated with Halloween in the 1950s.
