Amen sister! Candy corn rocks!
Remember popcorn balls? There were two kinds, one made from caramel like your mom makes, and the other a pink sugar concoction. I liked both, and very often these homemade goodies would be handed out to kids on Halloween, wrapped in waxed paper. I recall my parents (and me) making one or the other version of these ubiquitous treats one year, but can't remember which variety.
well, last i looked i'm decidedly male... but sister in spirit is ok with me...
i conflated candy corn with popcorn balls, but i'm ok with either, but i do prefer the softer and chewy caramel popcorn that Mom makes. it's gooey and way too sweet and not hard to eat a whole bag at a time. she also makes her own caramel in the microwave and pours it on very thick. we always laugh because at times it looks like there is a lot more caramel than popcorn in the bags...
