Yankee Candy Corn

Seriously, what the heck is candy corn!? If we have it in the UK, I must be living under a rock, up a mountain, in the middle of nowhere, because I have never seen it in stores. I definitely didn't end up with it in my trick or treat bags at Halloween. :(

I kind of feel like I'm missing out on something, because you only have to Google it to be overrun with images of tiny little triangles. I am still non the wiser. Another perk to growing up in the UK, being left out of all the cool sounding American things. All I have to go on is this Yankee candle.

It smells quite nice, really sweet and warming. It's not strong though, which was a bit disappointing as I do like to notice the smelliness of a scented candle. You get a good wiff if you walk into the room, and then that's it, unless you stick your nose near it deliberately. But that's just not practical, or safe, as your nose hairs may catch fire.

Because I've never had the pleasure of tasting candy corn, I can't really comment on the smell likeness. BUT it has had some really good reviews from people, who I assume, consume candy corn on an annual basis. So if you're a lover of candy corn, you might want to get yourself one of these little cuties. I say cuties because LOOK AT THE JAR!!!

There are two other Halloween Yankee candles; Witches Brew and Ghostly Treats. When I sniffed them in the shop I almost gagged. I thought the white one (Ghostly Treats) smelt like the dentist, and the black one (Witches Brew) just didn't agree with my nose because there was liquorice in there somewhere and I hate liquorice, so I went with this one. They all have spooky scenes on the sides, and a couple I have seen with just pumpkin face cutouts, which also look quite sweet. They'd be good to stick tea lights in when the actual candle is all gone, multi purpose jars for the win!

I also picked up this creepy guy. (I say picked up, but my lovely other half bought them all, because he is amazing like that)...

When the candle is lit, it makes a spider and webb shadow on the wall/ceiling. It's effective, I don't think it was really worth the *cough* £6 *cough* and a few times I've had a heard attack when I've gone to fetch something and the spider has been dangling. But, it was a nifty add on. :-)

Can any of you enlighten me on candy corn!? Please...

What does it taste like? My tastebuds need to know. :(
