Dang you, PI. Dang you all to heck!

I may have to try this. I've never made candy before, and this looks simple enough .

I'm not a fan of candy corn, but DD and DH are and that sounds kind of fun to make. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

Well PI you've hooked me too. I won't be able to do this until around the end of November but I copied off the recipe as well as written down the web address. I'm afraid, very afraid.

Homemade Candy Corn?

Why would anyone want to do such a horrible thing? Bring more of that vile substance into our world?

Coming in to post Joe's clip, leaving sheepishly. Was going to point out that it was all made in 1911...

Also, I've had awesome success adding peppermint extract instead of vanilla, dividing the dough into two portions, one colored red, and twisting to make candy canes.
I'm in trouble.
