What is "hard candy"?

Hard candy is a type of sugar candy that is known for its hard and brittle texture. It is typically made from a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and water, which is heated and then cooled to create a hard, glass-like candy. Hard candy can come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and flavors, including fruit, mint, and cinnamon, among others. It is often wrapped in colorful or clear packaging to make it more appealing to consumers. Hard candy can be enjoyed on its own or can be used as an ingredient in a variety of desserts, such as cakes, cookies, and ice cream. It is widely available in grocery stores and specialty stores around the world, and is a popular treat for people of all ages. However, it is important to consume hard candy in moderation as it is often high in sugar and calories, and can contribute to health issues such as obesity and tooth decay.
