ISO creative uses for candy corn

[joesfolk]

I have two bags of candy corn. I thought about using them for a gingerbread house but let's face it, after Thanksgiving candy corn is just leftover candy. So I want to morph it into something else, maybe melt it down. Any ideas?

i'd mix in with nuts and some square cereal and make a trail mix. cinnamon would be nice with some melted butter stirred in.

OK, I just had the suggestions: "use it in a slingshot", "stick it up your nose and blow it out", and "use it for the crenellations on the battlements of a gingerbread fort" There are BOYS in my house can you tell?

I'm about to the decision that the Candy Corn should be put in a pretty jar and saved as a decoration for next year. Donate to a school for a class art project. Or just put in a dish and know that eventually it will be gone in a few days.

Put them in popcorn balls for holiday munching by the children...of all ages.

Mix the candy corn with equal parts of salted peanuts and M&M's. When they would grab a handful, they thought they tasted (mixed) like a candy bar. I think it was Babe Ruth bar?
We called it harvest mix. It never lasted very long.
