Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer:

Hard candy has been around for centuries. Ancient Egyptians used honey to make a type of lozenge candy that they would suck on! The manufacture of sugar began in the Middle Ages, but was so expensive that really only the rich could enjoy it. Chocolate would only leave the Americas in the 1500s, and the first chocolate bar wasn't invented until 1847. In the 1700s and 1800s, the British started experimenting with hard candy, and with the industrial revolution, mass manufacture of candy truly made it an accessible treat for all.

The term 'candy' ultimately comes from the Indian Sanskrit word 'khanda,' which means 'a piece of sugar.'
