National Candy Corn Day Celebration is October 30th

The National Candy Corn Day is celebrated every October 30th.

Candy Corn was created by George Renninger of Wunderle Candy Company in the late 1800?s. He created this sweet treat to represent the pretty colors of kernels of corn. Originally, Candy Corn was yellow, orange, and white, but has become popular in other colors as well, when produced for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and Easter.

Americans buy nearly 20 million pounds of candy corn each year, and only 75 percent of that is around Halloween.
