Sweet Fact!

Candy corn has

been around for more than 100 years. George Renninger, an employee of the Wunderlee Candy Company, invented the popular confection in the 1880’s and Wunderlee became the first company to produce the candy. When the candy corn first appeared, it was popular among farmers because of its agrarian look. The tri-color design was considered revolutionary and the public went crazy for it. Lack of machinery meant that the candy corn was only made seasonally from March to November.
