Sugar confectionery is the ultimate mood-lifter, an easy and quick pick-me-up, and a way to share joy with family and friends.

Colours, flavours, or preservatives are added to make them more delectable. Hard boiled sugar confectionery can be classified as hard boiled sweets, plain mints, caramel or taffy, chewy, novelty, liquorice, sugar-free, lozenges, nuts, coconut or marshmallows. Chewy candies are the most loved sugar confectionery as they give the mouth a workout and are an extremely tasty treat.

Hard boiled sweets contain sugar in the glassy state and include fruit drops, barely sugar, hard gums, toffee, caramel, and butterscotch. After the chewy type, the hard boiled sugar candy is the most widely consumed sugar candy.
