World Candy Day
October 18 · Level 7 · #830 of 2238
World Candy Day is an informal excuse to celebrate sweets and share a few favourites. Chocolate truffles, chewy treats and simple hard candies all have a place, especially when they come with a childhood memory.
How it is celebrated: sweet lovers exchange treats, sample unfamiliar flavours or make candy at home. A small tasting can become a guessing game when the wrappers stay hidden.
White chocolate gets its pale colour from a surprising omission: it contains cocoa butter, but none of the dark cocoa solids that give other chocolate its familiar colour.
