Yes, candy corn can be halal if the gelatin used is derived from halal sources. For candy that includes gelatin to be halal, the gelatin must come from one of the following sources: beef gelatin (from animals slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law), fish gelatin, or vegetarian gelatin. Other ingredients in candy corn include sugar, corn syrup, confectioner’s glaze, salt, dextrose, sesame oil, artificial flavor, honey, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, and Red 3. It is important to verify the source of the gelatin used in the candy. And Allah knows best.
