Candy corn is manufactured using a process referred to by confectioners as starch casting. In this process, the shape of a candy or a candy center is formed by making impressions in a powder called cornstarch. The filling of each of these separate impressions is filled with liquid candy. Starch is an effective material because it easily retains specific shapes. Cornstarch also helps to remove moisture from the candy as it dries. Much of the candy making process, including the starch casting, occurs within a special candy-making machine called a Mogul. The candy is made and then must be left to dry. Thus, it is at least a 24-hour process from the beginning to end of the production process. Occasionally, it may be as long as 48 hours, depending on the moisture of the batch of candy and ambient humidity within the factory.
