Confectionery food / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the flat candy. For candy thrown as confetti, see Confetti § Etymology and Italian confetti.
Confetti candy is a confectionery food product that is prepared with cooked sugar and corn syrup that is formed into sheets, cooled, and then cracked or broken into pieces.[1][2] It has a hard, brittle[3] texture. To add eye appeal, colored sugar is sometimes sprinkled atop after the cooking and shaping process has been performed.[1]
