Candy corn consumer trends and characteristics

Overview

Candy corn is a seasonal confection with a history dating back to the 1880s. Due to its high sugar content, the candy is generally resistant to bacteria and mold, though its quality, texture, and flavor can be degraded by environmental factors such as humidity and temperature.

Recent consumer data shows varying levels of popularity across the United States. States including Mississippi, Nebraska, and Kentucky report higher than average orders, while Florida, Hawaii, and Washington D.C. report the lowest consumption levels. Although candy corn and licorice are reportedly losing market share to other treats, the product remains a staple in seasonal recipes and fall themed desserts.
