"THREE FUN CANDY FACTS

The simplest candy is cotton candy. It has one ingredient: sugar. The sugar is melted in a container with tiny holes and then spun very fast. The whirling container forces the sugar through the holes, making those thin threads that melt in your mouth.

The flavoring for black licorice comes from the root of the licorice plant. Licorice is one of the world's oldest candies. The ancient Chinese, Egyptians, and Greeks used licorice as a medicine.

Do you know why a candy cane is curved at the top? Because shepherds often carried curved sticks and the first visitors to the baby Jesus were shepherds. That's why candy canes are especially made for Christmas, a day that celebrates the birth of Jesus."
