Dream Interpretation | To dream of making candy, denotes profit accruing from industry. To dream of eating crisp, new candy, implies social pleasures and much love-making among the young and old. Sour candy is a sign of illness or that disgusting annoyances will grow out of confidences too long kept. To receive a box of bonbons, signifies to a young person that he or she will be the recipient of much adulation. It generally means prosperity. If you send a box you will make a proposition, but will meet with disappointment. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Candy is a term for a type of confectionery prepared by dissolving sugar in water or milk and boiling it until it starts to caramelize. The sugar solution is called a syrup. Depending upon the solvent and upon end result of the process the candy may be called candy, caramel, toffee, fudge, praline, or tablet. The recipe also governs how hard, soft, chewy or brittle the end result may be.
The eventual texture of candy depends on the temperature to which the sugar solution is boiled. The presence of a solute, such as sugar, in a liquid tends to elevate the boiling point of the liquid. (See boiling point.) Sugar water therefore boils at a higher temperature than pure water, and the higher the sugar concentration, the higher the boiling point. As the syrup is heated, it boils, and the boiling away of water increases the sugar concentration in the syrup, raising the boiling point still further. The relationship between the boiling point and the sugar concentration is predictable, and so heating the syrup to a particular temperature ensures a particular sugar concentration with some accuracy. In general, higher temperatures (which imply greater sugar concentrations) result in hard, brittle candies, and lower temperatures result in softer candies.
In North America, the word candy is often used as a synonym for the more general term confectionery. In British English, the word candy has become archaic and has only survived in the term "candy floss". When used in the UK, candy is generally taken to mean a sweet, that is any sort of confectionery.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Confectionery is food rich in sugar. Items of confectionery -- confections -- are also known by regional terms such as "candy" in American English (although this term also means a kind of confectionery and does not include some items called confectionery, see below and the separate article), "sweets" in British English, or "lollies" in New Zealand English.Confectionery items include sweets, lollies, candy bars, chocolate and other sweet items of snack food. The term is not generally used for cakes, biscuits or puddings which require cutlery to consume although there are exceptions such as petits fours or meringues. These are not termed candy in the US.
Many confections are termed candy. There are many categories and types of candy, including the following list:
However not all confections are candy in the strict sense. Among the others are the following list:
- Hard candy: Based on sugars cooked to the hard-crack stage, including lollipops, jawbreakers, lemon drops, peppermint drops and disks, candy canes, rock candy, etc.
- Fudge: Although the term 'fudge' is often applied to any soft, chocolate-flavored confection, it properly refers to a confection of milk and sugar boiled to the soft-ball stage.
- Toffee (or Taffy): Based on sugars cooked to the soft-ball stage and then pulled to create an elastic texture.
- Tablet: A crumbly milk-based soft candy, based on sugars cooked to the soft-ball stage. Comes in several forms, such as wafers and heart shapes.
A note on spelling: confectionery is the product; whereas a purveyor of confections is a confectionary. e.g. "Mr Smith's confectionary sells confectionery made by Mrs Smith."
- Chewing gum: Unique in that it is made to be chewed, not swallowed.
- Gum/Gelatin candies: Based on gelatins, including gum drops, jujubes, turkish delight, jelly beans, gummies, etc.
- Marshmallow: "Peeps" (a trade name), circus peanuts, etc.
- Chocolates: Used in the plural, usually referring to small balled centers covered with chocolate to create bite-sized confectionery. A prerequisite is that the candy consists of almost all chocolate.
- Marzipan: An almond-based confection, doughy in consistancy, and often formed into shapes such as fruits, which are then painted with food colorants.
- Licorice: Containing extract of the licorice root. Chewier and more resilient than gum/gelatin candies, but still designed to be swallowed.
- Halvah: Confectionery based on tahini, a paste made from ground sesame seeds.
