The task set by Carly this week:"EMPS #51: CANDY.
MMMM... CANDY! It's a super simple photo shoot assignment this week folks. All you have to do is grab your cameras and show me your favorite CANDY. The real problem might be in narrowing it down to just one. :)
Extra Credit: Show me a picture of YOU enjoying your favorite candy! Also, please be specific about what settings you used to create your photo, and what, if any, special effects you used."
According to Wikipedia, Candy, specifically sugar candy, is a confection made from a concentrated solution of sugar in water, to which flavorings and colorants are added. Candies come in numerous colors and varieties and have a long history in popular culture.
The word "candy" comes from Arabic qandi, derived from Persian qand, meaning "sugar." In North America, candy is a broad category that includes candy bars, chocolates, licorice, sour candies, salty candies, tart candies, hard candies, taffies, gumdrops, marsmallows and more. Vegetables, fruit or nuts glazed and coated with sugar are called candied.
Outside North America, the generic name for candy is sweets or confectionery (UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other Commonwealth countries). In Australia and New Zealand, sweets are, in normal usage, further categorised as either chocolate or lollies (for all other non-chocolate candies).

Since I'm not a big fan of anything sweets except for some brand of chocolates, of course this is my perfect choice. Plus there's a bar in my fridge so I'm able to get some photos. Brands that I like are the Cadbury Milk Chocolate, Snicker bars, Kit Kat, Mars and Ferraro Rosche. It won't be long before this bar is gone since the whole family love Cadbury.

Mmmmm, I'm not much of a sweets eater but a nice piece of chocolate is just perfect once in a while :-)
Looks very tasty even though I'm not a fan of sweets.
Love your choice Jama. My close 2nd is Snickers. Irresistable.
Have a wonderful rest of the week.
