3 delicious recipes Candy Candy What is Candy?
A candy is basically a candy that has a center of fondant sugar, fruit, or nuts. These centers are usually coated with chocolate or icing sugar.
According to Wikipedia, "The word candy comes from the French word 'good', which means good. These days, the word candy refers to several types of candy around the world."
If you plan to give your home candy as a gift or display them in an evening you want to buy candy boxes or mini mini muffin tins.
Shelf life: If you keep your candy chilled, they should last 10-12 days.
