                                Made from a simple boiled sugar syrup, ribbon candy is primarily composed of sugar and corn syrup. A typical 1/3 ribbon serving (28g) can contain as much as 18 grams of total sugars, all of which are added sugars. The intricate, shimmering holiday treat is essentially a confection of concentrated sweeteners, with flavorings and colorings comprising only a tiny percentage of its total volume.
