A feast for the sweet tooth (colourful, sticky and coveted at the shop counter): recognise the treats lollipop, gummy bear, chocolate bar, liquorice, chewing gum, marshmallow, cotton candy, praline, hard candy, caramel, candy cane and chocolate-marshmallow treat by their looks. Good to know: The lollipop is a hard sweet on a stick to be licked. It often comes in colourful swirl patterns. Gummy bears are small, soft fruit gums in the shape of bears. They were invented in 1920s Bonn. The chocolate bar is a handy bar with a chocolate coating and filling. Inside there's often nougat, caramel or nuts. Liquorice is a usually black sweet made from the sap of the liquorice root. Its taste strongly divides people. Chewing gum is a soft mass for prolonged chewing, not swallowing. Bubble gum lets you blow bubbles. The marshmallow is a soft, airy piece of foam sugar. It is often toasted over a campfire. Cotton candy is spun sugar, light and fluffy like cotton wool. It is a fairground classic. The praline is a small, refined piece of chocolate with a delicate filling.
