Soft Candies or Rock Candies?

Time and time again, we have been talking about candies and how irresistibly good these treats are. Ask your dad and your grandpa if the reputation of candy has changed. I will bet my lucky stars that they will tell you that it hasn’t. As a matter of a fact, candies are becoming more and more popular with people from all age groups. Despite not being the healthiest, candies rule the world and people just can’t say no to a candy. Even the most fanatic of all healthy buffs cannot escape its sweet wrath. Candy is made by melting sugar in either milk or sugar to form syrup which is boiled until it starts to caramelize. The quality of the candy is very dependent on the quality of the ingredients used and the length of time that it was boiled. There are two general varieties of candies: Rock candies and soft candies.

Rock candies are the hard ones that challenge your teeth every now and then while the soft candy varieties are the ones that are less hard on the teeth. Some prefer Rock candies and others will favor soft candies. If you want to give your teeth a vacation and you want to chew on something softer with almost the same test, you would go for the latter. The smooth and soft taste will surely get you off of your feet. There a lot of soft candies being sold commercially and perhaps one of the most are the gummy worms. I just love eating them! They’re scrumptious just like their harder counterparts and the great things about them is that they are soft and that gives my teeth a little breather. Gummy bears are not the only ones out there. There are more such as Jelly Candies, Gummy Worms, Tootsie Rolls and so many more. When I say “hard” I do not mean that rock candies are literally hard like true rocks but compared to these soft candies, they will look and seem like real rocks.  There is a company based in Chula Vista California that has been selling confectionary items which includes bulk and rare candies. This company is called “Candy Direct” and they’ve been in business since 1997. Historically, they are the oldest distributors of candies existing on the web. They are literally like a shopping mall of candies. Here you can find everything from the mainstream sweets to the classic ones. They also carry candies from virtually every know brand on this planet. If you’re in Chula Vista in California make sure you find this place and for sure you will get a little bit of Candy Heaven.

Now which is better, Rock Candies or soft candies? The taste is almost the same with the different lying on texture and hardness. Quite frankly, they are equal. The appeal of both will be dependent on the actual person eating the candy. Some will surely like the soft variety and there are those who will favor the rock hard one. Nonetheless, both of them are equally loved by all, young and old alike. So if I was to be asked the same question again on whether I would lean towards Rock Candies or soft candies, my answer is both. Now go buy a candy!
