What is candy? Candy is basically crystallized sugar or a confection made with sugar. Sugar is made up of 3 molecules. What is a molecule? A molecule is a group of atoms held together in a chemical bond by sharing electrons. They are the smallest part of a compound that can experience a chemical reaction. The three molecules that make up sugar are glucose, galactose and fructose. Fructose is the molecule that makes sugar sweet and any extras of that one molecule (fructose) can cause major diseases.
