Gamechanger: Candy Corn Bagels Now Exist

Photo by Miss Heather/NY Shitty

New York rarely needs to improve upon its bagels, but that doesn't stop bagel makers from messing with perfection. Check out this new creation that the Bagel Store in Williamsburg is offering up for the Halloween season: the Candy Corn Bagel. Miss Heather spotted the candied concoction with her own eyes today, noting it's available at their 247 Bedford Avenue outpost. We called them up to ask what was in the bagel, and they wouldn't divulge their secret, but did confirm that real candy corns are used.

A quick Google search tells us this may be the first time Candy Corn has been introduced so intimately to a bagel. Obviously, we are going to have to try this daring experiment, so stay tuned for a taste test... but what kind of spread should we top it with?

That sounds just as digusting as KFC's bowls.

artisanal anything - esp. when it comes to food - conveys either a certain amount of elitist liberty taken with an established formula or the reviving of a dead brand by resurrecting it an extra twist. this is not humble food that you buy in a farmers market. this is 'look at me, i'm different like everone else' in action. brooklyn hipster foodies are the core of this "local" movement and they are by and large responsible for this "food as fetish" situation that gets trumpeted on wnyc and the ny times ad nauseum. meanwhile, their neighbors on the southside are stretching every penny they can to feed their families. if these yuppies can dole out ridiculous food combinations so they can get a smidgeon of press to the public, they can feed the rest of the city. pulling rabbits out of hats is nice. but situations like this only prove how smug our culture's becoming.

This offends my adult sensibilities. Anything to attract attention I guess.

I would eat that. In fact, I wish I had that now.

Candy corn. Corn that tastes like candy.

"but what kind of spread should we top it with?"

How about sliced tomato and a little fucking dignity?

I'll be sticking to my Montreal old-fashion bagels thank you very much. Now thats a bagel, not one of those obese donuts.

A pumpkin butter spread would be seasonally appropriate but I don't think anything would actually work on a candy corn bagel. A candy corn donut however...
