Every year at the Wikimedia Conference, the participants bring sweets/candy from where they come from to the conference to share with others on the table of Sweets of the world. The tradition was initiated by Wikimedia Mexico in 2012. But what are the various sweets on that table?

This list serves multiple goals. First, you get to learn the names of the sweets on the table. Second, you get the opportunity to read more about the candy. And last but not least, you can write articles about the sweets in your local language. As a bonus, just like in the WikiCheese project, you get a chance to taste them as well!!

Enjoy!

Instructions

[edit]

Please add the sweets you bring in the list below.

Hopefully this can inspire other users to write a Wikipedia article about your sweets!
Therefore, please add a link to Wikipedia article about your sweets, as well as the Wikidata item (so people can quickly look up if it already exists in their language) and a link for images on Commons.

If there are no photos yet on Commons of your sweets, please photograph them!
