If the word 'candy' is already a plural form then what are 'candies'?

Candy is not a plural form. It's uncountable. I like candy. It can also be countable. There was a single mint candy in the dish. But it's not plural.

A boy asked, "Is it a piece of candy?" And the owner said, "You are correct!" So the owner gave them some candy.
