What is National Candy Day?
On November 4th, we celebrate the sweet holiday, National Candy Day. Candies have a long history of delighting us with their vibrant colors and delectable flavors. They also come in a variety of fun sizes and shapes.
Candy history
Middle English people first started using the word candy in the late 13th century.. Cane sugar is derived in turn from Persian Qand and Qandi, and it is derived from the Old French cucre candi.
Candy is used by many people as a broad category. We treat candy bars, chocolates, licorice, sour candies, salty candies, tart candies, hard candies, taffies, marshmallows, marshmallows, and much more as candy.
However, sugar was not always readily available. People made the first candies made from honey rather than candy. With honey, candymakers coated nuts, fruit, and flowers. This method preserved the flowers and nuts or made candy shapes. We still make these confections today, but we often use them as a garnish.
