The History of Sponge Candy. Sponge candy is popular in some parts of the world and in a few American states, but is an unheard-of treat in other regions. The American version of this crisp, caramelized sugar is often coated with chocolate and it originates from the Buffalo area.
Human beings have had a sweet tooth for thousands of years. In the earliest days, human beings learned that the honey produced by bees was sweet and pleasant to eat. It probably did not take long for early humans to combine honey with nuts and other foods to make the world's first homemade candies. Because historical records only go back a few thousand years, it's impossible to pinpoint exactly when candy was invented and who was responsible. The word candy comes from the Persian word qandi, but experts know candy itself is much older than the ancient Persians.
