Sweetie Corns are borne of the trees that exist in Sugar Pop Dreamland. The trees all bear candy fruit which falls to the ground once it ripens. Typically 1 of every 10 fruits that drops bears a seed. If the seed manages to germinate in the ground, it becomes a new tree. However if it's been consumed by a Sweetie Corn it will germinate within the Sweetie Corn causing it to become impregnated. The resulting birth will be another Sweetie Corn.

Most of the Sweetie Corns which have been sited have been seen lurking around the Forest of Sweets which is where the name comes from. The few that have been spotted in other realms of the Dreamland have often been referred to simply as Candy Corns. (There has been great debate by researchers as to the proper name, but the belief is that while Sweetie Corn is the proper name, Candy Corn is acceptable.)

There is a rumour that the Queen Constance of the Nightmare Kingdom has a Licorice Candy Corn as a dark sweet smelling creature has been sighted lurking about her castle.

All Sweetie/Candy Corns emit sweet scents often like those of the candies that they were born from and feast on. The scent serves as a defense mechanism and has been observed to calm predators long enough to give these creatures time to escape to safety.

Unfortunately for the Sweetie Corns, it doesn't seem to affect the many sentient creatures of the Dreamland as they have learned to utilize this defense mechanism in their favor during their endeavors to catch the Sweetie Corns.
