Cavemen eat honey from beehives.

Egyptian, Arabic and Chinese candy makers prepare confections of fruit and nuts candied in honey.

In Europe during the Middle Ages, the high cost of sugar makes sugar candy a delicacy available only to the wealthy.

Boiled sugar candies were enjoyed in the seventeenth century in England and in the American colonies.

Sweet making developed rapidly into an industry during the early nineteenth century Homemade hard candies, such as peppermints and lemon drops became popular during that time.

By the mid-1800s, over 380 American factories were producing candy - primarily "penny candy," which was sold loose from glass cases in general stores.
