It wakes me in the middle of the night. I need to eat those sugary faux kernels. I ache for sweet pumpkinets. I hvae a righteous jones for that orange stuff. But, I can’t have confectioner’s glaze. It’s treif. It’s forbidden. It’s in every brand I’ve checked.
I only want to eat oranger sugar goo until I vomit and pass out. I hope that with your help, I can achieve this dream.
Google “candy corn recipe”, and make it yourself. Here’s the first result I found: candy corn recipe | halloween recipes | halloween candy recipes | halloween appetizer recipes | halloween dessert recipes .
Happy vomiting.
This article also mentions that Jelly Belly candy corn is veg and kosher friendly, but I can’t find verification of that.
This site does not skeeve me out with its contents - I’ve long known the insect origins of some food ingredients - but it may give you pause if you are trying to keep Kosher. Apparently, Jelly Belly uses non-Kosher ingredients (at least on their jelly beans.) Worth a look.
Thanks for everybody’s help.
I’ve considered making my own. But the cleanup is daunting.
But, it does exist. I just need to search in a wider variety of stores.
Oh, I’m familiar. You should see the fit I threw when I found out that a synagogue event included Junior Mints (containing confectioner’s glaze) among the goodies. Due to a momentary lapse, I drank some cochineal shell at this year’s Gettysdope. Carmine appears in numerous makeups as well.
A minor hijack- what do you do when you inadvertently eat something treif, are you ritually unclean for a day & have to go to the mikveh?
Here you go. Buy it in bulk-$1.99 a pound:
Candy corn isn’t kosher???!??!
The Chosen People truly, truly suffer 
Thanks to everyone who found sources for DocCathode…this thread was depressing me!
So? It’s like wearing Hush Puppies or playing Football (if they both still used pig skin). You’re not going to eat your blush.
I keep kosher, but am not Orthodox (I’m Conservative). If I inadvertently eat something treif, I feel kinda guilty about it (but certainly not as bad as I’d feel if I purposely did it, or if I inadvertently did something that harmed someone else), and try to be more careful in similar situations in the future. For me, there’s no mikveh or confession or anything like that involved.
If I had only eaten part of a treif dish (taken a bite of supposedly vegetarian soup, then found a shrimp in it, for example), I wouldn’t eat any more of it. I’d throw out what was left, or, if I were eating with someone who didn’t keep kosher, I’d ask them if they wanted it. That’s because I think knowingly eating treif is qualitatively different from eating treif without knowing it.
