Candy corn contains sugar and other ingredients that could upset your dog's stomach or, in some cases, lead to more serious complications like pancreatitis. While hydrogen peroxide is sometimes used to induce vomiting, it should only be administered under the guidance of a veterinarian, as doing it incorrectly could be harmful. Monitor your dog for any signs of discomfort such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, and contact your veterinarian for advice on what to do next.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
