candyflosses
Airy spun sweets
Candyflosses is the plural of candyfloss, the British term for cotton candy—spun sugar wound around a stick, sold at fairs and carnivals.
The word captures the texture: airy, fluffy, dissolving on the tongue.
The children clutched their candyflosses as they walked through the fairground.
