I like the colors but it tastes cross.
It has a gross name prior to candy corn too lol.
It was originally called chicken feed.

How far back does that go? I'm pushing 72 and that is the first time I heard that. However, real corn is chicken feed.
I think its use as a chicken feed is largely urban legend fed by the fact that its original inventor called it "chicken feed" vs the name we now know, "candy corn".

I should have mentioned in my previous post...many companies make candy corn. There have been times when I had some that I hated because that company made their product taste like wax. Not all candy corns that look alike....taste alikeI am the same as the opening statement. I liked them as a kid...and as a teen and as a 20 something too. Now I don't buy it for myself, but I've had a couple of them at work and the traditional orange and white candy corns are still good as far as I'm concerned. (I hadn't read the entire thread when I posted my thoughts....I see that I'm in the minority....oh well)

I take if you like anise then as well?
Black licorice has a similar taste.
I cannot stand that taste. I want to throw up when I even smell it.
I am a "taster" though so maybe it doesn't have a strong gross taste to those that are not "tasters".

No. Black licorice and Anise...
The poster said they like black licorice so I said I bet they like anise as well.

Candy corn is a delicious sugary treat. I can't have more than a palmful and I have to eat them one by one.

Not really my thing around Halloween. I am more into Skittles and Starburst.

This! it's like eating a deconstructed Payday candy bar. Also, I'll second the Caramel Apple/Candy Apple corns... they're really good.
Speaking of candy bars....
"Butterfinger" Candies:
3 cups candy corn
2 cups melting chocolate
1 heaping cup creamy peanut butter
Line an 8 x 8 baking pan with parchment or wax paper. In a microwave safe bowl, add candy corn. Cook for 1 minute, stir, cook for 30 seconds, stir, then cook it some more in 15 second intervals until soft and creamy in texture.
Add peanut butter, mix until combined. Microwave for an additional 10-20 seconds. Stir, then rapidly pour mixture into prepared baking pan. Smooth out with a back of a spoon. Place in the refrigerator to cool. Take candy out of the refrigerator, and using a knife cut into bite-size pieces.
Make a double boiler, by placing water in a medium pot, about a ⅓ of the way, place a large glass bowl over the pot and add chocolate. Stir the chocolate until melted, dip candy mixture into chocolate and let rest on parchment or wax paper. Store candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a crispy bar or leave on the counter for a fudge-like chewy "butterfinger" bar.
