- What is the subject of this article?
- The subject of this article is a large group of prepared foods whose final product contains ≥75% sugar by weight. This article includes hard candies, fondant candies, caramel candies, hard jellies (but not soft marmalade-type jellies or Jell-O-style Jelly (dessert)s), and nougats. It excludes chocolates, gummy bears, chewing gum, and other foods that are less than 75% sugar by weight. In American English, this is called "sugar candy". In British English, it is called "sweets".
- But my country means something else when we say sugar candy!
- Then you should proceed right over to Boiled sweets, where you can read about what you are accustomed to calling sugar candy. All of the articles about this group of foods are written and titled in American English, so none of the titles will be precisely what you're expecting.
