🍯🍬 Did you know that the first sweets date back to around 2000 BCE?
Long before sugar was widely available, people in 🇪🇬Ancient Egypt, 🇨🇳China, 🇬🇷Greece, and the 🌴Middle East coated fruits, flowers, and nuts in honey to create sweet treats.
Around 250 CE, people in 🇮🇳India became the first to make sugar crystals from sugarcane, marking the birth of true sugar-based candy.
🌴Arabs later refined crystallization techniques, creating some of the earliest sugar confections and caramel around 950 CE 🍮
The modern candy industry flourished during the Industrial Revolution. In 1847, 🇬🇧British doctor Joseph Fry created the first modern chocolate bar by pressing cocoa powder and sugar into a mold 🍪🍫
🚀And then, in the 21st century, 🇳🇱Chill Pepper created an entirely new kind of Sweets ….. a playful wooden celebration of candy, made for imagination and open-ended play!🥳 🍭✨
