sugar candy

Solid sweet treat

Sugar candy is candy made by crystallizing sugar, or more broadly, any confection made primarily from sugar.

The term often appears as a single unit meaning sweets or confections generally: The children spent their allowance on sugar candy.

In some regions, it specifically refers to rock candy—large sugar crystals formed on a string or stick.
