Hard candy’s history can be traced to ancient times. Archaeologists have discovered that ancient Chinese, Arabian, and Egyptian cultures all “candied” various fruit and nut confections in honey. The honey served as a preservative as well as a sweet treat. Many believe that these ancient people used sticks as a serving utensil to help keep hands from getting sticky, thus, the invention of the lollipop!
Sugar used to be an extreme luxury enjoy by the wealthy. In the Middle Ages, sugar was so revered, they wanted to make it last longer. To do this, they boiled the sugar and formed it into hard blocks. Finally, by the 17 th century, sugar prices came down as sugar became more plentiful. Soon, eating these boiled sugar treats was soon considered a delicacy.
The Industrial Revolution, along with the discovery of sugar beet juice, revolutionized candy making. Lemon drops, peppermint, wintergreen, and other forms of hard candy took off. These treats became accessible to the general public and soon became commonplace items. Eventually, hard candy would become known as penny candy as you could buy these treats for a penny.
