Halloween candy is my downfall. I love it like nothing else and basically hide it from myself when the kids bring it home. Recently my daughter asked where candy corn comes from, and I decided to look it up to see how it was made. Shortly thereafter, I went down the rabbit hole of learning all sorts of interesting variations on homemade candy. It is amazing how many ways you can actually make it at home. I found some really great ideas out there that I think are fun to see. Homemade candy corn, gummy bears, and Snickers bars? Sign me up! I hope you have as much fun as I did checking out all these great ideas.
