About This Quiz

If you like candy (who doesn't), then you'll love this quiz. See if you can get every question correct.

Candy is a pretty broad category, but everyone agrees that the point behind candy is sugar, and lots of it. In fact, sugar is the main ingredient in this tasty treat. Without getting into whether sweets are good for you, let's chat a bit about the glory that is candy.

Candy comes in about as many shapes, sizes, and forms as the imagination can think up. From hard candies to candied fruits and nuts, to caramels, taffy, and even gum, candy hits the spot for most people. Candy has been around for as long as sugar has been grown and processed. Before that, sweet treats used honey. So, since at least the 4th century BC, candy has been satisfying the sweet teeth of people all over the world.

So, if you know the name of an Almond Joy without the almonds, a mint disc covered in dark chocolate, and small pieces of black licorice coated in pink and white, then you'll probably do well on this quiz. (Did you answer Mounds, York Peppermint Pattie, and Good and Plenty?).
