Candied

Candied: adjective. To be candied is to be frank and brutally honest with regard to questions concerning candy. The word can be used in sentences like the following: "The American Association of Candy-makers was particularly candied in its answers to the tactlessly intrusive questions of the press. In response to the accusation of adding rat poison to mints, the AAC's spokesman candiedly asked the reporter what she would recommend them instead to give the mints a good kick."
