Hard candy, also known as sugar candy, is a favorite of folks of all ages. The world wide group of sugar candy fanatics make up what I like to call the “Mob”. Everyone has their favorite flavor or type and rare is the person who doesn’t like at least one type.
Sugar Candy, also known as “hard candy” in all its tens of thousands or more yummy forms is made by simply taking a thick solution of sugar water and adding tasty and attractive colors or flavors. Many countries outside the United States turn them into what are known as “ice pop candies” by freezing them. The United States hasn’t caught up with this trend yet and that is very unfortunate!
The term candy is covers a wide term which includes chocolates, liquorice, toffees, candy bars, chewing gums and many more. Traditionally, candy is also known as confectionery or sweets.
Not that we mob members care about any of that. We love the way it tastes and we all have our favorites and we all try not to feel so guilty for loving it so much.
So try this on for size. Believe it or not, not all sweets are created equal for the weight conscious member of the world wide candy loving mob. For instance think about the classic favorite the lollipop.
Consider a lollipop. Basically a lollipop is sugar candy with a stick on the end of it. As compared to a thick chocolate bar, a sugar free or low-sugar lollipop or other hard candy makes a better choice for someone trying to make a certain weight.
One big reason for this is that you eat overall less food with a little hard candy, but your sweet tooth is more than satisfied. The old stand by Dum Dum little lollipop has experienced steady sales for decades. Products like the Dum Dum or any of it’s thousands of cousins can be altered during the creation process to diminish sugar while still maintaining similar taste. Standing alone a lollipop may have a lot of sugar, but it’s overall calorie load is limited to it’s size. You heard it here: hard candy is a diet tool. Try using it for desert in place of doughy cakes, cookies or pie and fattening ice cream. You will get results that will shock you. As always, let me know what happens!
