Candy, sometimes called sweetmeat, was a term used to describe a variety of sugary sweet treats, often bite-sized, beloved in many regions of the Realms.
Description[]
Some candy found in Waterdeep was wrapped in brown paper packets.[1]
Candy made by elves were renowned for their delicateness and the speed they melted in one's mouth.[9]
Varieties[]
- Candied fruit was, perhaps, the most common type of such sweetmeats found across mane locations. A variety of candied fruit was served in Elturel of the Western Heartlands[4] and at the Great Mother's House
at Berdusk;[5] candied persimmons, tangerines, and bananas were found in Zakhara;[8] and candied cherries, pears, and carrots were commonly served in Westgate.[3]
- One variety of candy found in the City of Splendor was called hard candy and could be stored for an extremely long periods of time.[10]
- Garlands of small candy sword and daggers were customary decorations for the annual Festival of Blades, hanged across roof beams of interior and exterior venues.[6]
- Kara-Turan candy, namely those found in Shou Lung, were made via sugar cane boiling. A bag-full of these tiny sugar cane candy was sold for a single tael.[7]
