Candy, sweets and lollies are confections that have sugar as the primary ingredient. Most sugar candies are defined in US law as a food of minimal nutritional value.

Chocolate can sometimes be put in a separate branch of confectionery, because of it’s cocoa content. Cocoa is a very nutrient-dense bean.
