I am not redefining Candy, I am using non food definition of candy to make a point. "Something that is pleasing or pleasurable, usually in a superficial way"

Peanuts are frequently used as part of a wide range of sweets for texture. But, they are also sweet enough to not be out of place and in no way make them heathy by proxy. Similarly, eating a full serving of penuts regularly is generally a bad idea.
