🍬 What Are Candy & Chocolate? Candy (also called confectionery) refers to sweet treats made primarily from sugar, syrup, and flavorings. It comes in many forms — from hard sugar candies to chewy gummies and chocolate-covered sweets. Chocolate is made from cocoa beans (cocoa solids + cocoa butter) combined with sugar and often milk. It’s technically also a type of candy when used in sweet treats like bars or chocolate-coated sweets.
