In neighboring countries, dates were replaced with figs, nuts, and apricots with spices cooked in honey. The next step in the era of candy was the appearance of sugar. In India, they began to produce fruits in sugar. (Which reader does not remember modern cranberries in sugar?) At various celebrations, guests were thrown candy. Good luck awaited the one who caught it. In Italy, they kept this tradition, but replaced the candies with colored confetti pieces of paper.
