Actually, you could use a "period" term for the medieval candy-fest and
call it a "banquet". Or "samples from a banquet". In Tudor and Stuart
times the banquet was what we call the "dessert course" and contained
candies as well as numerous other items. Markham, I believe, has a
listing of things necessary for a banquet. These always included
marchpanes (as the center attraction), preserved and candied fruits,
seeds, sweetened "breads" such as biscuits (twice-cooked "cookies"),
etc.
