It's finals week and I'm really missing candy so I made s'mores cookies and to keep from eating all five dozen I brought some to school. There was some debate between my office-mates about whether or not cookies are candy. Clearly, they are not and this brought up the need for a characterization of candy. So here's how I would characterize candy.
Candy is an edible substance that satisfies three or more of the following properties:
(1) beloved by the majority of children
(2) consists mostly of sugar
(3) commonly given to children at Halloween
(4) commonly found in the candy section of the candy aisle
(5) brightly colored
