About Candies, hard
Hard candy is sugar boiled to a high temperature and cooled into a solid, glassy sweet — lollipops, boiled sweets, mints and the like. Made to be sucked slowly, it's one of the oldest and simplest forms of confectionery there is.
It is, quite literally, just sugar: boiled sugar syrup with flavor and color, which makes it pure carbohydrate, high in calories for its size, and entirely without fat, protein, fiber or nutrients. It's about as close to 'eating sugar' as a sweet gets.
Hard candy is a small, long-lasting sugar treat — fine occasionally, though because it bathes the teeth in sugar over a long suck, it's one of the less tooth-friendly sweets going.
