Ascorbic acid is the chemical name for Vitamin C. In cooking, it's primary purpose is to help prevent the deterioration of the colour of food during storage; e.g it is frequently added to tinned vegetables to help preserve the natural colour of the vegetables. It also has some preservative properties (but is not strongly preservative), and is also used to aid bread leavening.
In candy, the addition of something acidic can help colouring agents become more vivid. It can also have a role to play in "inverting" sugars; a chemical reaction which breaks down sugar bonds in the candy, resulting in a confection which is less grainy.
