What is National Candy Day?
We're celebrating the sweet holiday, National Candy Day, on November 4th. Candies have a long tradition 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. Borrowed from the Old French cucre candi, it is derived in turn from Persian Qand and Qandi, cane sugar.
Candy is used by people as a broad category. Candy bars, chocolates, licorice, sour candies, salty candies, tart candies, hard candies, taffies, marshmallows, marshmallows, and much more are treats.
However, sugar was not always available, and it was not always cheap. People made the first candies from honey rather than candy. With honey, candymakers coated nuts, fruits, and flowers. This method dried the flowers and nuts or created forms of candy. We still make these cookies today, but we often use them as a garnish.
