Candy-coated chocolates are a popular confectionery treat originating from Western cuisine, with roots tracing back to ingenious methods of creating portable, heat-resistant candies. These bite-sized sweets typically consist of a small chocolate core encased in a colorful sugar shell. The core is often made of milk chocolate but can vary to include dark chocolate, white chocolate, or even nut-infused varieties, while the outer layer provides a crunch and serves as both protection and decoration. While candy-coated chocolates are a source of quick energy due to their sugar and fat content, they are generally high in calories and added sugars, making them best enjoyed in moderation. Dark chocolate varieties may offer small amounts of antioxidants, but they do not outweigh the less healthy aspects of sugar and saturated fats. These candies cater to a wide audience and are often enjoyed as snacks or used for baking, decorating desserts, or celebratory events.
