confections
Candy and chocolates
Confections are sweet foods, especially candy and other sugary treats made with skill or artistry: a shop full of chocolate confections, delicate confections from the pastry chef.
The word suggests something elaborate or fanciful—extending to non-food creations that seem light or decorative: Her hat was a frothy confection of lace and ribbons.
