Favorite Foods

The holiday season is upon us, and before you know it, the most joyous holiday will be here – National Candy Corn Day!
 
National Candy Corn Day was established on October 30th by Emmett Lee Dickinson (Emily Dickinson’s third cousin, twice removed – at her request), the inventor of candy corn.  For information about National Candy Corn Day, click HERE.
 
This year the festivities will be even more special because the Food Network just released the results from a recent survey on America’s favorite foods, and guess what landed in the top spot?  Yep, candy corn!
