Candy

Candy, also known as sweets, is a confection that features sugar as a principal ingredient. The category, called sugar confectionery, encompasses any sweet confection, including chocolate or chewing gum. Vegetables, fruit, or nuts which have been glazed with sugar are considered candied. Candy has large amounts of sugar or sugar substitutes, usually made in smaller pieces. However, candy also depends upon how people treat the food. They are eaten casually, often with fingers, as a snack between meals, but each culture has its own ideas of what constitutes candy rather than dessert. The same food may be a candy in one culture and a dessert in another.
