Big candy fan, but it just dawned on me that the entire concept is very strange - especially the fact that a lot of candy is just flavored rocks.
Are there any old records of candy that is similar to what we eat today like gum, skittles, jolly ranchers, et cetera that people would chew on/enjoy back in the day?
The practice of eating raw honey and honeycomb is so old it predates history, and possibly even humans in the sense of anatomically modern Homo sapiens. Does your definition of "candy" mean the sugar has to be cooked?
How much candy do you eat? You can exchange candy with a different treat. Please try "chocolate coffee", not to be confused with "mocha".
It is hot chocolate, espresso, and whipped cream.
You need a 12 ounce cup and it has to be ok for hot liquid.
If you don't have an espresso machine you can use strong coffee.
Pour two shot-glasses of espresso / strong coffee in the cup. Fill almost to the top with hot chocolate. Top with whipped cream.
