Description
Old fashion handmade green lime candy dusted with powder sugar in shape of limes on a white background. They often are called lime drops. A hard candy which citrus flavor is a welcome sweet treat in the summer.
A hard candy, or boiled sweet, is a sugar candy prepared from one or more sugar -based syrups that is boiled to a temperature of 160 °C (320 °F) to make candy. Among the many hard candy varieties are stick candy such as the candy cane, lollipops, aniseed twists, and bêtises de Cambrai.
The word "candy" comes from ancient Indian Sanskrit. Khanda means "a piece of sugar." Once the 1800s got underway, new types of candy materialized. Rock candy was a happy accident of a Scottish hard candy maker. A Dutch man invented the first hard chocolate candy in 1844. The chocolate bar was born. Not long after, the Swiss began producing their version of chocolate and would later become known for their high quality chocolate candy. Soon milk chocolate was invented and candies like peppermint and lemon drops became popular near the beginning of the 20th century. Candy factories began popping up everywhere and new flavors and textures of candy were being invented almost daily. Lollipops, salt water taffy, fudge, and much more hit the scene and the many sweet flavors of candy were here to stay.
