In Costa Rica, we call “confite” to any candy or caramel. And while I was choosing the colors for them, it reminded me a bag of “confites” and with their sweet faces I thought it was the perfect name.

En Costa Rica, se le dice “confite” a cualquier dulce o caramelo que se vende empaquetado en las tiendas. Y mientras escogía los colores, me recordó a una bolsa de “confites” y con sus caritas tan dulces pensé que era el nombre perfecto.
