There is strange history of candy corn. National Geographic says that no one is completely, 100 percent sure just who invented this overly sweet treat, but it's been around for a long time. The accepted story is that the Wunderle Candy Company and a candy maker named George Renninger is to thank (or blame) for first making candy corn. In 1898, the Goelitz Confectionery Company picked up his creation and they ran with it.
