[[File:Plain-M&Ms-Pile.jpg|thumb|right|250px|[[M&Ms]], chocolate with a shell of coloured sugar.]] '''Confectionery''' or '''sweets''' is a type of [[food]] that has a lot of [[sugar]] in it and is very sweet. It often includes things that are rich in [[artificial sweetener]]s, flavours and colourings. The words '''[[candy]]''' (North America), '''sweets''' (UK and Ireland) and '''lollies''' (Australia and New Zealand) are also used for the many kinds of confections. Confections are usually low in [[Nutrition|nutrients]] but rich in [[calorie]]s. Sweets can come from anywhere. ==Other websites== {{commons category-inline|confectionery}} {{Cookbook|Confections}} {{food-stub}} [[Category:Confectionery| ]]
