The History and Background of Candy

Candy is a sweet food that is often given to children. The word candy comes from the Latin word "candy," meaning "sugary." Candy is made from sugar, corn syrup, and water or milk. Sugar is heated and boiled until it reaches the hard crack stage, which can be added to other ingredients.

The history of candy starts with the ancient Egyptians, who used honey as a sweetener in their desserts. The Greeks then adopted this idea and created their version of sweets called "glyka." The Romans also contributed to the history of candy by using sugar cane as a sweetener in their desserts. In Europe in the Middle Ages, people would make sugar-coated nuts for holidays like Easter and Christmas for special guests.
