has a long history as a familiar food treat available in large varieties. Candy is also referred to as sweets or confectionery
.
Candy varieties are influenced by the size of the sugar crystals, aeration, sugar concentrations, colour and the types of sugar used. Jelly candies, such as gumdrops and gummies, use stabilizers including starch, pectin or gelatin. Simple sugar or sucrose is turned into candy by dissolving it in water, concentrating this solution through cooking and allowing the mass either to form a mutable solid or to recrystallize. Other sugars, sugar substitutes, and corn syrup are also used. Another famous type of candy is cotton candy, but some consider it a invert to sugar. Therefore, not a candy at all.
