Note: When I designed the candy corn fridgie and potholder I didn't have any Candy Corn on hand. In trying to remember the color sequence I guessed light to dark. Since that time I discovered these simple treats I've eaten all my life are actually light on top, orange in the center and yellow on bottom!
