The history of candy dates back to ancient peoples who must have
snacked
on sweet honey straight from bee hives. The first candy confections
were fruits and nuts rolled in honey. The manufacturing of sugar began
during the middle ages and at that time sugar was so expensive that only
the rich could afford candy made from sugar. Cacao, from which
chocolate is made, was re-discovered in 1519 by Spanish explorers in
Mexico.
