Do you have a “sweet tooth”? You do if you like sweets, puddings, and other sugary treats. People everywhere find ways to satisfy a “sweet tooth”.
Children in China like “drawn-wire apple”. The apple is cooked in sweet, sticky toffee. When a piece of apple is lifted from the hot dish, the toffee cools and stretches in thin strips like wire.
In Spain, children eat colorful dragons made of marzipan, a type of sweet made of almond paste and sugar.
Some “main course” foods can be turned into treats. Sweet potatoes are made into sweets in Mexico and camote-cues, a sweet snack for children, in the Philippines.
In Myanmar, children love a chewy treat called khaw pyin, made of rice and seasame seeds. Also in Southeast Asia, many treats are made with coconut.
In North America, maple-tree sap is boiled to make syrup. And everywhere, bees are busy making honey all the time. People add these sweeteners to breads, cakes, and other foods.
