We don’t say ‘candy’ in English but if you’re talking sweets….

Poetry 1 Minute

What’s your favourite candy?

If you say candy in English

We’ll think of candy sticks

But ask our favourite sweeties

That’s a different thing.

There’s Everton Mints,

Sherbert Dips, Liquorice,

Caramel treats,

Perhaps a tin of Quality Street

Challenging your fillings.

Some like Jelly Babies

Pastels or Wine Gums

And we’ve much better chocolate

Than horrible Hershey bars.

For me it’s always toffees

Or was till I did my teeth.

No it’s more dark chocolate

My favourite one is this.
