A Brief History:
Origination: The recent Hard Candy Day celebrated the origin of hard candy. People celebrate every day with hard candy, and special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays and a great day, to go alongside. The history of hard candy and its creation can be traced to B.C. ancient times, from the Ancient Egyptians for cult purposes. In ancient times, Egyptians, Arabs, and Chinese made candies with fruits and nuts that caramelized with honey. Getting it hard so that is doesn’t have to be chewed has also came around in the past few centuries. The historical roots of licorice are found in the early years of man’s appearance.
More Recent Evolution: The past millennium has had hard candy evolve out of the ancient heritage, but came around within the past few centuries!
The Last Few Centuries: In the last few centuries, hard candy has evolved into an industry that involves employment opportunities, the building of factories, holidays based off the industry, and a lot of sweet things! Unfortunately it does keep dentists in business as well, as because on the downside, the sugar is a direct decay factor to tooth enamel and also a breeding ground for bacteria that eventually causes plaque and makes the teeth come from the whiteness that teeth need to be considered “brilliant”.
More Recently: Today, hard candy is still the very delicious dessert that it has always attained from back in the old days every year. Every year, countless companies come out with a new variation, and present companies introduce different renditions and even “limited edition” variations of the recipes used to produce hard candy and other hard confectionary products. More and more renditions and recipes have arisen in more recent years.
Celebrated: December 19th every year!
