Cavemen ate honey from bee hives.

Licorice is often considered one of the oldest forms of candy due to licorice root being used thousands of years ago in medicines and sweet treats. It is a native plant of the Mediterranean area.

Ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Middle Easterners, Greeks, Romans, Indians and so on all used honey to coat pieces of fruit, nuts, seeds, and flowers for their candy.

Ancient Egyptian date and walnut candy were balls of candy containing dates, walnuts, almonds, cinnamon and honey. They had numerous recipes for their sweet treats and would vary their recipes using those items as well as corn, wheat, coconuts, apples, figs, cherries, peaches and so on. They often used candy to worship their gods, goddesses and pharoahs, and would only offer the best candies to them, such as marshmallow and licorice treats.
