What are Confections?
Confections are a general class of food that includes any number of “sweets.” Regional differences may result in some things being classified as confections in one area but not in another, and there are a number of sweet foods or food-like items that some people may consider confections and others may not. As a general rule of thumb, confections are sweets that don’t require a spoon, fork, or knife to easily consume – with a few exceptions.
