IMO, anything made predominantly from sugar that constitutes mostly empty calories, to include chocolate, ice cream, mints, gum, cake, pie, etc.
It could also be interpreted as anything that satisfies some kind of craving, including sex.
I think you are dreaming, if circles were not considered as an illustration of PI in the last challenge, forget about chocolate, ice cream, gum, cake and pie being related in any way to the the concept of candy. Sex craving...If you can pull out that one with a score superior to 4 I how you a first class meal.

From my cooking days: Sugar preparation brought to a temperature between 300 and 330 degrees farenheit before cooling. but I think any sugar preparations in small portion, wrapped or not (caramels, smarties, taffies etc. Digressions on tooth decay and kids in relation with candy could possibly work, candy stores.... Searching on the Net: many ladies doing things you cannot show on these premisses seem to go by this name.
But lets hear a few candy specialist from the States, maybe a more inclusive term over there, like the word pudding in England appears to be anything sweet you eat at the end of a meal.
After having to pull my Pi entry, the main subject of which was a circular calculator with circular buttons, because of the 'circles won't cut it' conclusion in the forums, leaving me no time to reshoot, I'd like to get this one cleared up nice and early :-/
This site lists chocolate, mints & gum amongst the "1400 candy products launched this year", whereas the definition on dictionary.com seems to indicate only boiled sweets would be valid. Google disappointed me by bringing absolutely no pr0n back in the top 10 results, though it did list make-up and a photoshop plugin!
Could some kindly American please provide an English translation!
I believe "Candy" is used in the US as "Sweets" is in the UK - so would cover chocolate, boiled sweets, MnMs, wine gums, polos, tic tacs, bounty bars - whatever you prefer.
Personally have to agree that the "anything that satisfies some kind of craving, including sex" definition wouldn't get many points from me.

Yup, as a Brit abroad, I'd concur with that.
I wonder if we'll get lots of eye candy type shots though - flowers, cute pets, attractive women

Kavey I think your correct...but now please tell me ....what is a boiled sweet (candy)? Is that boiled like a hard boiled egg? lol
This is just wonderful..i haven't had a piece of candy in over 2 months (Atkins diet) and now i have to photograph it! This will be a challenge of strength and will power for me!
i have this feeling that we are going to see many shots of:
- kids eating candy
- candy in bowls
- objects constructed out of candy (twix log cabin, m&m's forming pictures or words)
- a lollipop/chocolate/whatever in an overly red lipsticked mouth (or placed/draped/smeared over other parts of a female body) . . .
I am a self-proclaimed candy expert. It is likely I have eaten more candy this weekend alone than all of you combined over the past year. All sugary confections qualify as candy. Chocolate is candy. Licorice is candy. Anything from Taffy to Caramel is candy. Almost anything meant to tantilize the sweet taste buds in the front of your tongue is candy. If anyone has any doubts as to what is candy, mail a sample of your idea to me, and I will tell you if it is candy or not. Yeah, mail some candy to me. That's a great idea!
