The Sweet World of Candy
If you have a sweet tooth, then candy is your best friend. Candy comes in all shapes, sizes, and flavors, and it’s hard to resist its sweet, sugary goodness. But have you ever wondered about the origins of candy and how it’s made?
Candy Trivia Essentials
Did you know that the first candy was made by the ancient Egyptians over 3,000 years ago? They made candy by mixing honey with nuts and fruits. Candy has come a long way since then, and today, there are thousands of different types of candy available all over the world.
Adults consume just as much candy as children do. Well, this adult does anyway. But I digress.
Candy is a popular treat for all ages and can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a healthy diet. Just don’t let my dentist know I said that.
One of the most popular types of candy is chocolate. Chocolate is made from cocoa beans, which are grown in tropical regions around the world. The beans are roasted and ground into a paste, which is then mixed with sugar and other ingredients to make chocolate.
Growing up in a chocolate town and near an even bigger chocolate city, I have a lot of experience with chocolate.
My parents worked for a company called Wilbur Chocolate. It was located in Lititz, Pennsylvania. It is owned by Cargill Cocoa and Chocolate and has since stopped manufacturing. The old chocolate building is now a Hilton Tapestry Hotel, called The Wilbur. They still make their iconic Wilbur Buds where you can find here!
Lititz is about a half hour away from Hershey, PA, where Hershey Bars are made. I have been there many times and my sons loved going to Hershey Park, an amusement park, and of course Chocolate World.
Sugar and Syrup: The Foundations of Candy
Candy is made from a combination of sugar and syrup, which are heated together to create a thick, sticky mixture. The type of sugar and syrup used can vary depending on the type of candy being made.
For example, hard candies are made from a mixture of sugar, water, and corn syrup, while gummy candies are made from gelatin, sugar, and corn syrup. Caramel candies are made from a mixture of sugar, cream, and butter, which is heated to a high temperature to create a rich, caramel flavor.
Candy is a delicious treat that has been enjoyed for thousands of years. Whether you prefer chocolate, hard candies, or gummy bears, there’s a type of candy out there for everyone.
What’s your favorite? Of course mine is chocolate and my mantra is “Give me the chocolate and nobody gets hurt.”
Iconic Candy Bars and Brands
If you’re planning a party or just looking for a fun activity to do with friends, a Sweet Treats Quiz Printable Candy Trivia Game is the perfect way to indulge your sweet tooth. Here are some of the most iconic candy bars and brands that you can include in your game.
Chocolate Factory Favorites
Chocolate lovers will rejoice at the sight of these classic candy bars. Snickers, Milky Way, and M&Ms are sure to be crowd-pleasers. Hershey’s chocolate bars are another fan favorite, with their smooth and creamy texture. If you’re looking for something a little more unique, try a Pez dispenser, which dispenses small candy tablets in fun shapes.
Below is a candy bar wrapper template to add to your printable candy trivia game. You can customize it to suit your party theme.
As I stated earlier, my parents both worked for a chocolate company and my dad could sit with you for hours and tell you the whole entire process or creating chocolate. From the fields where they grow to the final candy bar itself.
I should probably have him tell me the story once more and write it all down and do a special edition of how to make chocolate the proper way! How fun!
Gummy and Chewy Delights
For those who prefer their candy on the chewy side, gummy bears and Starburst are sure to satisfy. Skittles are another popular choice, with their fruity flavors and bright colors. Tootsie Rolls are a classic candy that have been around since 1896, and are still loved by many today.
How about the gummy worms! I used to make a dirt dessert in a plastic pail with Oreos and Cool Whip, cream cheese and had the gummy worms coming out of the crushed Oreos.
Classic Hard Candies and Lollipops
If you’re looking for something to suck on, candy corn and lollipops are the way to go.
Candy corn is a Halloween staple, but can be enjoyed year-round. Candy Corn is a love it or leave it type of candy. I am more of a leave it. But you do you.
Lollipops come in a variety of flavors and shapes, from classic round ones to fun shapes like hearts and stars. I like to call lollipops, “lolly-gollys”.
Don’t forget Conversation Hearts! A family favorite in February.
Then of course we have Christmas candies. Oh how I love old fashioned ribbon candy. I remember when my grandma had them out every Christmas.
No matter what type of candy you prefer, there’s sure to be something on this list that will satisfy your sweet tooth.
