Mind you, for the sake of health, it sounds as though we should stick to Toffee Apples at Hallowe'en and Parkin (very dense ginger spiced cake) and Cinder Toffee for Bonfire night!

Hi Helen!!!
How to explain candy corn. It's basically just sugar- looks like little triangles and is just a little chewy, not really though. Nothing really special about it except it's a fun Halloween tradition in the states.
I don't believe it's anything you can make but I could be wrong. It's nothing like cotton candy.
I once had a British neighbor who made the best toffee in the entire world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
