Candy!

 

 

Is a very simple thing.  


The word candy refers to numerous confections - both soft and hard - that are made of sugar that has been cooked. Did you know different heating and cooling levels determine types of candy?

Folks have been chomping on sweets for thousands of years.   


During ancient times, the Egyptians, Arabs, and Chinese were known to prepare sweet confections of fruit and nuts candied in honey. For years, sugar was traded throughout the Middle East, but it didn't leave that region until the Crusaders discovered the "sweet salt" on their conquests.
