sugariness
How candy tastes
Sugariness is the quality of being sugary—sweet in taste or excessively sweet in manner.
The literal sense describes how much something tastes of sugar: The sugariness of the frosting was overwhelming.
Figuratively, it suggests cloying sentimentality: The sugariness of the greeting card made her cringe.
