In India, Southeast Asia and the Middle East, sweetmeat or sweetmeats. In North America, candy - although this term can also refer to a specific range of confectionery and does not include some items called confectionery e.g. pastry See below and the separate article on candy. Sweets is occasionally used, as well as treat. Examples This section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. August 2008 The inclusion of certain items in this list is disputed. Please see the relevant discussion on the talk page. Rows of sweets Rows of sweets Confectionery items include sweets, lollipops, candy bars, chocolate, Cotton candy, and other sweet items of snack food. The term does not generally apply to cakes, biscuits, or puddings which require cutlery to consume, although exceptions such as petits fours or meringues exist. Speakers of American English do not refer to these items as candy. See candy making for the stages of sugar-cooking. American English classifies many confections as candy. Some of the categories and types of candy include: Hard candy: Based on sugars cooked to the hard-crack stage, including suckers known as boiled sweets in British English, lollipops, jawbreakers or gobstoppers, lemon drops, peppermint drops and disks, candy canes, rock candy, etc. These also include types often mixed with nuts such as brittle. Fudge: A confection of milk and sugar boiled to the soft-ball stage. In the US, it tends to be chocolate-flavored. Toffee or Taffy or Tuffy: Based on sugars cooked to the soft-ball stage and then pulled to create an elastic texture. In British English, toffee refers to a harder substance also made from cooked sugars. Swiss Milk 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. Liquorice: Containing extract of the liquorice root. Chewier and more resilient than gum/gelatin candies, but still designed for swallowing. For example, Liquorice allsorts. A chocolate. A chocolate. Chocolates: Used in the plural, usually referring to small balled centers covered with chocolate to create bite-sized confectionery. People who create chocolates are called chocolatiers, and they create their confections with couverture chocolate. A chocolate maker, on the other hand, is the person who physically creates the couverture from cacao beans and other ingredients. Kopiko: A coffee flavoured sweet made in Asia. Gum/Gelatin candies: Based on gelatins, including gum drops, jujubes, Lokum / Turkish Delight, jelly beans, cola bottles gummies, etc. Marshmallow: Peeps a trade name, circus peanuts, fluffy puff, etc. Marzipan: An almond-based confection, doughy in consistency, served in several different ways. It is often formed into shapes mimicking for example fruits or animals. Alternatively, marzipan may be flavoured, normally with spirits such as Kirsch or Rum, and divided into small bite-sized pieces; these flavoured marzipans are generally served coated in chocolate to prevent the alcohol from evaporating, and are very common in northern Europe. Marzipan is also used in cake decoration. Its lower-priced version is called Persipan. Divinity: A nougat-like confectionery based on egg whites with chopped nuts. Not all confections equate to candy in the American English sense. Non-candy confections include: Pastry: A baked confection whose dough is rich in butter, which was dispersed through the pastry prior to baking, resulting in a light, flaky texture; see also pie and tart. Chewing gum: Uniquely made to be chewed, not swallowed. However, some people believe that at least some types of chewing gum, such as certain bubble gums, are indeed candy. Ice cream: Frozen flavoured cream.citation needed Halvah: Confectionery based on tahini, a paste made from ground sesame seeds. Alfajor: a traditional South American cookie typically consisting of two round sweet biscuits joined together with a sweet jam, generally dulce de leche milk jam.
