Here are a couple of sweet Autumn treats. Which do you prefer and why?
Candy Corn
Caramel Apples
You may not have had this experience, but I have found that people tend to have rather strong positive or negative reactions to these two particular treats. Do you? Let's talk about it! Choose and Defend!

I don't know what candy corn is, never having had the experience, so I have to go with caramel apples. Your photograph displays a rather beautiful selection of caramel coated apples. I've tried toffee apples, which I liked as a child but went off them as an adult.
I'll go with caramel apples cuz it's healthy because, you know. Apples.
Great question! Even though I have a sandwich bag filled with candy corn in my desk, my favorite Halloween treat is to have a caramel apple. Oh, they're awesome. I love when the caramel layer seals in the freshness and juiciness of the apple.
I could have a caramel apple any time of the year, but my taste for candy corn fades quickly as soon as Halloween is over.
I like both! But, caramel apple - it' has to be a good apple so I only buy it at an apple orchard or make it myself. Otherwise, just eat a caramel alone.
After a few pieces of candy corn, I'm done. I'd say caramel apples, but what I really like are candy apples - you know, with the hard red cinnamon coating. So I'm going with a write-in candidate, candy apples.
I'm a middle of the road girl and I want to have the best of both worlds.
Caramel apple coated in candy corn pieces. Final answer.
So I have a thing about inspecting my fruit before eating it. I think it had to do with that half-a-worm joke I heard as a kid. So...if I didn't make the caramel apple myself, I assume the apple beneath the caramel is bruised, and pimpled with bird bites, and unclean.
Also, I can put away several handfuls of candy corn no problem.
I can only eat a few candy corns, and after biting into an extra hard caramel apple many years ago, I haven't tried again. Are there "soft" chocolate with nuts caramel apples? I'll have to try again...!
