Have youaware of...

The Middle English word "candy" began to be used in the late 13th century, coming into English from the Old French çucre candi, derived in turn from Arabic qandi and Persian qand, "cane sugar." In North America, candy is a broad category that includes candy bars, chocolates, licorice, sour candies, salty candies, tart candies, hard candies, taffies, gumdrops, marshmallows, and more. Vegetables, fruit, or nuts which have been glazed and coated with sugar are said to be candied.
The first to eat candy were the cavemen when they ate the honey from bee hives.

3500 years ago the Egyptians combined fruits and nuts with honey to make candy. In the Middle Ages sugar was expensive so it was a product that was available only to the wealthy. Boiled sugar candies were popular in the American colonies and in the 1800s American factories were producing "penny candy". Milk chocolate was made by Switzerland's David Peter who added milk and created the first milk chocolate in 1876.

Hi guys,

I just bought some candy and thought it would be nice to give it away. It all comes from Bulk Barn Canada, everything is factory sealed but it might have come in contact with nuts, there's no way I can know that. Also I did buy some nuts at the same time but those are gone, just sayin'.

The candy bag will contain: chocolate loonies and toonies (yes that's what we call our 1 and 2 dollar coins), mini caramel chocolate bars, maple sugar candies, chocolate spiders and a dark cherry skull lollipop.

~~Just FAVE this journal~~ ~~and you will be entered in a random draw. The draw closes on October 24th.~~ CLOSED.

National Candy Month

by `PurpelBlur, Jun 29, 2010, 12:46:39 AM
Journals / deviantART, Inc. / Community Relations

This month we pay homage to the wonderful delicacy loved by the Sweet Tooth afflicted worldwide- candy!

It is fascinating how such a thing that is basically sugar and water is a basic part of most, if not all, holidays and even every day life. When was the last time you gave in to temptation and had a piece or more? Perhaps a week or a day or, heck, a second ago. I see the wrapper!

The temperature at which the sugar and water are combined is the difference between hard and chewy. High temperatures make for hard candies; medium creates soft; low becomes chewy.

If you have any Literary or Visual works in dedication to Candy, you are welcome to submit them to Community Projects > Awareness > 2010 > National Candy Month.

June Community Projects List
These projects are open all year round, despite whether they represent a particular 'day' or 'month'.
