Candy

Candy, also known as sweets and lollies, is a confection that features sugar as a principal ingredient. The category, sugar confectionery, encompasses any sweet confection, including chocolate or chewing gum. Sugar-glazed vegetables, fruit, or nuts 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. Often with fingers, people eat them casually as a snack between meals. However, 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.
