It's All About the Candy Corn!

Ahhh, nothing brings back wonderful fall memories like the sweet smell of candy corn. I love this stuff, and while I know it's available all year long, it seems especially yummy in the fall. My all-time favorite way to munch on candy corn is to pour it into a bowl and mix in dry roasted peanuts....hummmm what a yummy treat it is for me to have a good sized bowl on my lap as I watch a scary movie with my hubby. Is it just me, or does everyone eat more when they watch scary movies? Maybe it's a stress reliever, but I'll tell you I have packed away many a bag (not to mention a few extra pounds) by enjoying candy corn.
When I saw this set from Unity, I knew at once I had to have it, because whether at Halloween or just some crisp fall night, "it's all about the candy corn"!

I added a bit of decoration for the inside of this card so that when I get ready to send it to a friend in October, hopefully they will enjoy the inside as much as the outside. Maybe I'll even include a small bag of candy corn! :)

Thanks for stopping by today - enjoy your Thursday!
