Deep Fried Candy Corn – Halloween Treat or Horrifying Trick?

If you're a medical professional you probably want to skip this right now and go read something else.

For those of you who are still with me, imagine taking something that is one hundred percent sugar, wrapping it in doughy, starchy carbohydrates and then deep frying the whole concoction.

But then if you let it sit for a minute you can't help but be drawn to the flavors such a mysterious combination might produce. I'd be interested in what a dietitian or a doctor might have for a professional opinion of deep fried candy corn.
