Pro Tip 2/3
Variety
Refers to a wide range of sweet items, not just one specific type like candy. The confectionery aisle at the supermarket is filled with chocolates, gummies, and biscuits.
Pro Tip 3/3
Not Healthy
Confectionery is delicious but high in sugar, not designed for health-conscious diets. After starting my diet, I'm avoiding the confectionery section.
