Each piece is approximately the size of a whole kernel of corn (that is, not just the exposed part), as if it fell off a ripe or dried ear of corn
Candy corn has taken many shapes over the years for different holidays. "Indian Candy Corn" in which the yellow is replaced with chocolate-flavored brown, is sold during the Thanksgiving holiday season. "Reindeer Corn" is produced during Christmas season, the yellow is replaced with green, and the orange is replaced with red., "Cupid Corn" is produced during Valentines season, in which the yellow and orange is replaced with red and pink, and "Bunny Corn" which is produced during Easter, in which many colors are made for each kernel such as yellow, pink, green, blue, purple and white.

Each piece is approximately the size of a whole kernel of corn (that is, not just the exposed part), as if it fell off a ripe or dried ear of corn (maize).
It was invented by George Renninger and produced by the Wunderle Candy Company in the 1880s. In 1900, the Goelitz Candy Company, now the Jelly Belly Candy Company, started mass producing the candy, but, due to the lack of machinery, it was only made available seasonally from March to November. Its recipe has remained unchanged.

It basically just tastes like sugar. It's a soft candy; traditionally only available during Halloween, sometimes Easter. They make a few flavoured varieties, like apple or caramel, but the original kind just tastes like sugar.
