Halloween is as much about candy as it is about dressing up in fun costumes and engaging in scare tactics.
Humans have loved their sweets for centuries. Early human beings made candy out of honey by drying it and forming a taffy-like confection, while many modern incarnations of candy involve dissolving sugar into water or milk to form a syrup.
