  The recession (經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退) seems to have a sweet tooth.As unemployment has risen, Americans, particularly adults, have been consuming growing amounts of candy, say candy makers, store owners and industry experts.

  Theories vary on exactly why.For many, sugar lifts spirits dragged low by the economy.For others, candy also provides a reminder of better times.And not insignificantly, it is relatively cheap.

  At Candyality, a store in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, business has jumped by nearly 80 percent compared with this time last year, and the owner, Terese McDonald, said she was struggling to keep up with the demand for Bit-O-Honeys, Swedish Fish and Sour Balls.

  “They put candy in their actual budget,” she said.

  Many big candy makers are also reporting rising sales and surprising profits.
