  Buy a sealed bag of candy corn. The plastic will protect the candy from getting wet and from humidity. If your candy is loose, put it inside a plastic zipper storage bag. Press the bag to get the air out and zip it well.

  Wrap the bag with bubble wrap. Use tape to secure the bubble wrap in place. This will protect the candy from breaking up even if the package is pressed or dropped.

  Place the bubble-wrapped candy corn inside a small shipping box. You can use the Priority Mail boxes available at the post office. Priority Mail is faster than regular mail, so the candy will reach its destination faster, reducing the chances of breaking during transportation.
