Candy corn is typically made from a few core ingredients, with slight variations by brand. A concise list of common components often found in a single piece includes:

• Sugar and corn syrup (the primary sweeteners)
• Confectioner's glaze (shellac) for the glossy coating
• Salt
• Dextrose
• Gelatin (a protein derived from animal sources)
• Sesame oil (used in small amounts to help with texture and glaze flavor)
• Artificial flavors
• Yellow and orange food coloring (such as Yellow 6, Yellow 5, Red 3)

If you’d like, I can tailor this to a specific brand or provide a breakdown by color layer (the classic yellow-orange-white gradient) and note any notable allergens or vegan considerations.
