Mostly eaten as a feel-good snack, reward, or refreshment, sweet street food is found all over the world. In most cultures, a family trip to the zoo, the beach, or amusement park is accompanied by something sweet, and not only for the little ones. Most parents also know that a good helping of ice cream, a candied apple, or cotton candy can expedite the drying of children’s tears or help to mediate young siblings’ squabbles. Sweets are simply the sometimes guilty pleasures we all like to indulge in from time to time.
