handmade sweets

Crafted sugar treats

Handmade sweets are confections produced by hand rather than by industrial machinery—candies, chocolates, fudge, or traditional treats crafted in small batches.

The term emphasizes artisanal quality and personal care: The shop sells handmade sweets using her grandmother's recipes.

In British usage, sweets covers what Americans call candy.
