Candy is considered countable because individual pieces can be quantified, allowing for a clear distinction between one piece and multiple pieces. For example, you can say "three candies" or "ten pieces of candy." While "candy" can be used as a mass noun when referring to it in general, specific quantities enable it to be counted. Thus, the term "candies" is often used when referring to distinct varieties or types.

Prescriptive grammar says candy is non-countable. However, I think in colloquial English, both countable and non-countable forms are perfectly acceptable:1) I like candy.2) Pass me a candy.To test that "candy" is non-countable in example No. 1, try replacing it with a word that is widely accepted as countable:I like apple.[incorrect sentence]Grammarians may argue that example No. 2 pass me a candy is sloppy English, but I suspect most would agree that pass me a piece of candy does not sound natural.A user from a website gives the example how much candies do u want, which is indeed incorrect but because she's using the countable form of "candy" by making it plural. The sentence can be rewritten as:How much candy do u want?In other words, "candy" is non-countable in formal English, but can be used as either countable or non-countable in informal English. And, yes, formal English would dictate the construction pass me a piece of candy.
