New York Magazine published an article on marzipan in February. They call it a candy. There are some good pictures of a variety of marzipan styles to accompany the article.

I tend to buy one small box of fruit shaped marzipan at Christmas time. I don't eat a lot of it, but Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without at least a couple of pieces of marzipan shaped like an orange or a strawberry.
From the googles.
Candy corn isn't just sugar. It's actually made up of several ingredients, including sugar, corn syrup, confectioner's glaze, salt, dextrose, gelatin, sesame oil, artificial flavor, honey, yellow 6, yellow 5, and red 3. It also contains gelatin, a protein made from animal parts like hides and bones.
EWWWWwwwwwie!
good question, maybe others were simply overindulgences.
I have thought about The Olde Candy Days...lots of loose candy in bags, and how 'bout them big waxed lips and other gross formats? The somewhat pointless Colored Dots on a Strip of Paper (odd sugar delivery system). No wrappers at all. Pick your nose then pick your candy! Builds a nice immune system.
One of the local theaters has a yearly short play festival that I participate in. (Side note: probably won't happen this coming year.) It has become a tradition to bring something that falls into the "I dare you to eat that" category. We've had pumpkin pie soda and birthday cake Oreos, among other choices. The guy who produces the festival is unflappable. He'll try anything and usually says whatever is on offer is either "Good" or "OK". We finally cracked him though a couple of years ago with . . .
peanut butter candy corn.
I brought the peanut butter candy corn to the event and it has become the standard for "I dare you to eat that" disgusting.
Man, this is one of those days.
Was thinking of bagging my camping trip tomorrow but now I need it desperately.
