Candy corn has been around for over 100 years if you can believe that. Legend has it that an employee of the Wunderlee Candy Company named George Renninger invented Pumpkin Candy Corn in the 1880s.
What we now know as the Jelly Belly Company was called the Goelitz Candy Company and they started making this sweet treat around the turn of the century through today.

Candy corn first appeared in the US, and immediately, its triangular, three-color design was considered revolutionary. However, because automated machines were scarce, candy corn was only made seasonally, from late summer through fall.
