The Food Network goes behind this triangle-shaped wonder, and gives you the low-down on how candy corn was originally created by the Goelitz Brothers Candy Company, and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how candy corn is made, along with Bill Kelley, President of Goelitz and a fourth-generation candymaker.

Did You Know? Top 5 Candy Corn Trivia Tidbits:

1. Thank goodness for mass production: In 1900, the Goelitz Brothers Candy Company, later known as the Jelly Belly Candy Company (yes, the same awesome folks are responsible for Jelly Belly, too!), started mass-producing the candy. However, due to the relatively primitive machinery of those days, it was only available seasonally from March to November. Its recipe has remained unchanged throughout the years.

2. Sweeter than you think: A cup of candy corn actually contains fewer calories than a cup of raisins. If that’s not good enough to soothe away post-Halloween sugar-induced guilt, I don’t know what is.

3. Layered, not stirred: Candy corn is actually made by using molded layers, with orange as the first layer, yellow as the second layer and white as the third. Next time you wish to eat your candy according to hierarchy, keep this fun fact in mind.

4. Corn-colored holiday: Candy corn was even rewarded with a holiday of its own, with October 30th marking National Candy Corn Day.

5. The secret ingredient: Part of what helps candy corn retain its unique texture and mouth-watering taste? Marshmallows. We swear!

Ironically, it took an American movie to get me interested in Queen Victoria.  Being a Jane Austen junkie I could not resist the elaborate costumes, British accents and countryside and was immediately drawn into the 19th century. But even if corsets are not your thing, you have to admit that the queen’s life has everything it takes to tell a great story: Ruling the

British Empire at 18, falling in love and marring a first cousin, giving birth to 9 children, surviving several assassination attempts and being the longest-reigning monarch in British history.

Today, when Warhol’s 15 minutes turned into 15 seconds, everyone wants to be in the public eye, yet no one seems to leave a lasting impression, it’s quite incredible to think that we’re still celebrating the birthday of a woman who was born almost 200 years ago.

Disappointingly for Julius Caesar, fortune was not up his alley on that fateful day which led up to his death at the Theatre of Pompey on this date, by the hands of the Liberatores. At the very least, we have both Julius and Shakespeare to thank for some very famous last words left to linger in history and popular culture – “You too, Brutus?”
