Cookies
A candy is a confection, usually flavored with various sweet or slightly sour tastes. Candies are sold by weight in bulk or packaged in sachets, individually wrapped or not. Candy is a lucrative global market and represents a reward for the child who is its main target.
You can put the sweets in a candy box (or bezel) or in a jar to keep them.
Spelling
The word “bonbon” is made up of a repetition of “bon”, and is therefore not written according to the general rule, that is to say with an “m” in front of the “b”.
Composition
The amount of sugar in a candy varies according to the recipes and the expertise of the candy maker. Candy makers use many colors and textures in making their candies.
