'''Candies''', named '''Gumdrops''' in some games, are basic recovery items in the ''[[Mana (series)|Mana]]'' series. They make their first appearance in ''[[Final Fantasy Adventure]]''. They restore a bit of [[HP]] to a character. Throughout their appearances, Candies are consistently depicted as round-shaped and covered in wrapping, the color of which differs between appearances but generally has a shade of pink. However, their ''Final Fantasy Adventure'' artwork depicts them as transparent and without wrapping.
