In Australia, we tend to distinguish between candy types. This falls into ‘chocolate’ and ‘lollies’.

Chocolate generally refers to chocolate based candy such as chocolate bars (KitKats, Mars Bars, etc), coated chocolate goodies, blocks of chocolate. This is also known as ‘chocky’.

Lollies refer to most other types of sweet confectionary.

Very, very cool! LOVE this blog! I’m not sure if you’re aware of Jones Soda carbonated candies and Warp energy mints (my fave is the Green-T flavour). They’re made by my friend’s Toronto-based candy company. Check out their link on my blog http://www.lifeonmanitoulin.blogspot.com . I’m sure you’ll love their candy! :)

Hi,

Just a small correction. In Hebrew, candy is \”sucariah\” (singular) and sucariot (plural) with a \”T\” at the end.

Love the blog.
