October Treats

I do not consider candy corn to be a staple of life. I am under no delusions that it contains the same nutritive value as the corn that is not candy; which is to say, not much at all. For all of the heartiness that common corn lacks, candy corn lacks so much more than that that you would be certain that it must have a negative amount. I can neither confirm nor deny that suspicion. I can tell you, that I love candy corn. However, were it to be declared by the Surgeons General of every nation and state I would be ecstatic.

Candy corn does not make as good a tortilla as regular corn either. In truth, candy corn does not make a tortilla at all. If you smash it down to paste and then add water to aid in dissolving it and then shape the candy corn liquid into a round tortilla shape and then let it dry you do not get a tortilla. All you get is an orangish sugar wafer that is not at all flexible. If you forgive its lack of flexibility and proceed to eat the faux tortilla with meat and lettuce and beans and cheese anyway you will be shocked at how unlike a regular tortilla it tastes. You may even be moved to spit it quickly from your mouth.

If you could get your hands on some Candy Carne, Chandy Cheese and Bandy Beans. I’m sure you could make yourself a yummy candy burrito. Enjoy the sugar coma.
