candy land

Sugary fantasy realm

Candy Land is a children's board game requiring no reading or strategy—players simply draw colored cards and advance to matching spaces.

By extension, candy land describes any place or situation of effortless abundance and pleasure, often with implications of naivety or unreality: He thinks the stock market is some kind of candy land where everyone gets rich.
