Curbly Challenge - October

From October 01, 2007 To October 29, 2007

There’s something about specific seasons that elicits a desire to eat foods you wouldn’t touch during the rest of the year: Marshmallow Chicks and Cadbury Cream Eggs during Easter, Gelite Fish or Pickled Herring when it’s Passover, and chalky Conversation Hearts ‘round Valentine’s Day.

In the fall, it’s Candy Corn. Imagine popping one of these sickening saccharine, gritty, tri-color triangles in your mouth during a sweltering summer barbecue…

Doesn’t quite work. Yet, for some reason, in October, when mild weather and spicey smells abound, it just seems right.

Thus, the item o’ choice for the October Curbly Challenge is: Candy Corn.

The Challenge: Transform these corn syrupy wedges into something seasonally superior for your home. Or, take a cue from its traditional three color stripes, and use it as an aesthetic for you next creation.

The rules:

    - Your entry should consist of a blog post showing what you did. You must include a photo!

    - Read Curbly Challenge guidelines here.

The prize: $75 gift card to Amazon.com, and bragging rights all autumn long.
