Off-season candy corn in Los Angeles

Where can I buy candy corn in Los Angeles, this weekend? Preferably convenient to Pasadena/Burbank? Difficulty: don't want to experiment by making my own, and buying it online will be too slow.
I live in LA and every drug store I've been in this past week has had a big bin of clearance Halloween candy. I don't know about the candy corn specifically, because I didn't look through it, but it seems worth hitting up any local Rite Aids or CVS's.

The Sweet Factory in the Glendale Galleria should have it.

Do you have a Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid or other large chain drug stores? Also, supermarkets! They should still have lots of leftovers.

Try a dollar store type of place.

Or a candy store. Is that the kind of thing they have year-round?

I'm not in LA, but my local craft stores (Jo-Ann, Michaels) and Target have them on clearance right now.

It's slightly out of your area, but Sweetharts in Sherman Oaks.

Best answer: Try Rocket Fizz, which if you go to their home page, they mention Halloween candy.

Walgreens near me had a whole display, as did my grocer - candy corn isn't really out of season until Thanksgiving.

Best answer: Even among places that only do this seasonally, drug stores like CVS or Walgreens typically have them in stock the longest (because candy is an after-thought for people there, who are usually visiting the pharmacy for Rx's or over-the-counter meds, or because they forgot to pack a toothbrush or buy extra batteries).
Here are some CVS locations in Burbank.

even out of season, many grocery stores carry candy corn along with their other inexpensive candies (jelly beans, gum drops, etc), in my experience. my local ralph's (in downtown los angeles) had both clearance halloween candy corn and their regular generic candy corn when i was there just the other day.

Response by poster: I had luck at Rocket Fizz, though unfortunately they only had the artificially flavored ones by Jelly Belly. Nothing at Target, and the CVS brand bags looked sketchy. Couldn't find Brach's, which is the only brand I know of that makes it with real honey.
