George Renninger of Wunderle Candy Company created candy corn in the late 1800s.. His sweet treat reflected the vibrant colors of corn kernels.. Candy corn was yellow, orange, and white when it was first introduced. The Goelitz Candy Company made the candy popular in 1889, but it wasn't until 1889 that the Goelitz Candy Company introduced the candy. Later, other candy manufacturers introduced a variety of popular colors and flavors as well..
The original confection was made by hand using corn syrup, sugar, water, marshmallows, fondant, and carnauba wax (a wax made from palm tree leaves). However, modern candy manufacturers use machines to produce the original ingredients.
Many recipes these days create the candy corn flavors in cakes, cookies, beverages, and other items.
