Ever wondered How It’s Made: Candy Corn, Tootsie Rolls, Twizzlers? 🍬🍫🍓 In this spooky Halloween special, Captain Discovery takes you inside the candy factories that turn sugar, syrup, and science into the treats that define every October. From the chewy pull of Tootsie Rolls to the glossy twists of Twizzlers, and of course—the legendary Candy Corn—you’ll see how these iconic sweets come to life.
There’s a chilling fact: if you gathered every piece of Candy Corn made for Halloween, it could blanket more than 900 cemeteries across America.
Bright, cheerful colors on the outside—but for many, this candy is pure horror. Surveys from the National Confectioners Association and YouGov show Candy Corn is ranked both the most loved and the most hated Halloween treat. Too sweet. Too chalky. Too waxy. And yet, over 35 million pounds—more than 9 billion pieces—are sold every year.
Why does this “sweet nightmare” keep returning, haunting Halloween again and again? Tonight, we’ll take you inside the factory to uncover the eerie process behind Candy Corn’s creation.
Don’t miss this special Halloween episode of How It’s Made: Candy Corn, Tootsie Rolls, Twizzlers — where sugar meets mystery.
