About this word search

Candy corn is a Halloween staple in the US, with its stripes of yellow, orange and white. Rock candy is made from large sugar crystals grown on a string or stick, which makes for a nice kitchen science experiment.

This grid uses all eight directions. Butterscotch and Chocolate chip are long and good to start with. Look also for the J in Jawbreaker and the Z in Marzipan, two letters that rarely appear elsewhere.

Older kids can split the list into candy and baked goods. Cobbler and Brownie are easy, but Honeycomb and Meringue can go either way.
