Candy corn is absolutely irresistible like once every five years.

sometimes i dont want my hands to get salty but snack on peanuts... guess how i go about that -_-

edit: chips can be easily dealt with using chopsticks btw. putting them in a large bowl first helps too, so the back of your hand doesnt get greasy either...

Try cracking them inside your mouth after putting them in a bowl and spitting the rest, like with sunflower seeds. The problem woukd be the amount of salt you are ingesting.

excuse me, i tried following your suggestions... now my bowl has a bitemark where i chipped off some of it, my mouth is bleeding (ceramic bowl), and chips and peanuts are everywhere.... i think i might need a doctor

j/k but what the hell do you mean "try cracking them inside your mouth?" roasted, salted peanuts are usually already husked.... and chips dont have a husk... im confused but dont need a doctor actually XD

I usually buy them with salted husk so they need to be cracked, just my preference though

i have never seen salted peanuts still with husk... whats the salts purpose in this case?

are we talking about the same species? Arachis hypogaea?

Yep, same species. I really don't know why they are salted while inside the husk but where I live you can get them with and without husk and some restaurants offer them husked and with salt.

One time, after Halloween, the local store had candy corn on clearance sale, each container was 25 cents for a pound.

My gut suffered. Wax belly is awful. Yet I never learned.

We've all been there. I'm sure you're prepared with some pepto this year, I know I am

Is candy corn crunchy now? I always thought it was kind of soft and chewy... I haven't had any for a while though

[-] Draconic_NEO@pawb.social 2 points 1 day ago

If I'm remembering right it's between crunchy and chewy. I also remember it being particularly mealy which is why I don't particularly enjoy it.

The crunch is from your teeth breaking around the cavities.

It's a lot crunchier than liquid, but ideally no, not very.
