Although we can celebrate candy throughout the year, June is the official National Candy Month. Although no one knows the exact reason or how June became National Candy Month, it is clear that you can enjoy guilt-free candy all year round. It’s not that June isn’t rich in history. In June 1963, US confectioner Hershey’s purchased Harry Burnett Reese’s company (yes, that famous Peanut Butter Cup Reese) and in June 1904 George Cadbury and his team invented Dairy Milk.

While some cultures consider chocolate to be a kind of candy, others see candy as a name for hard-boiled sweets. It’s a broad term that can be used to describe many things, including marshmallows, jelly sweets and jelly sweets. Yum!
