Desired and admired by both children and adults, sweets are undoubtedly one of the most attractive edibles that we can find. We can define sweets as small candies that are made in very different ways and with different ingredients. The treats are often in attractive colors, shapes, and sizes to attract the attention of customers. Normally, the businesses that specialize in the sale of sweets are called kiosks, although there are also candy stores and stores that have a wide assortment of options.
One of the essential characteristics of the candy is that it has a significant amount of sugar, regardless of the type of candy we are talking about. Also, treats are not nutritious foods in and of themselves since they do not have vitamins or minerals like all other foods and edibles. This basically has to do with the idea that a candy is a small sweet portion that must be eaten every so often to enjoy a delicious flavor. However, the abuse and excess consumption of sweets is normal in some people and such a situation can easily lead to serious problems such as obesity or diabetes.
The treats can be found in a gigantic variety of options. Although one of the most popular elements when thinking about sweets is candies, all kinds of chocolates and bonbons also fall into this group, alfajores (a small pancake made up of two cookies joined by a mousse of different flavors), gum , lollipops, marzipan, jellies, stuffed cubes, marshmallows and many more. These treats can be found in various flavors such as chocolate, cream, various fruits, nougat, almonds, mint, and dulce de leche.
Typically, one of the most important attractions of candy is that they are much cheaper than other products, mainly due to their small size. Thus, buying an alfajor or a package of sweets is cheaper (and more delicious) than buying fruit or some other food that is really nutritious.
