Halloween candy corn is typically found in orange, yellow and white, but Brach's decided to venture into new territory by creating a new flavor that tastes like s'mores. With a dark brown stripe on the bottom, a white middle section and a yellow tip, the new candy corn flavor reminds of the essentials of a s'more sandwich like graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate.

Considering that Halloween candy corn is often added to other dessert dishes and crafts to celebrate the spooky occasion, this novel flavor is a fun way to shake up the season.

In the spirit of the fall season, other candy brands like M&M's are coming up with inventive flavors like Pecan Pie and Pumpkin Spiced Latte, making it possible to indulge in the flavors of a favorite dessert in a snack-sized portion.
