I don’t know about candy but when I follow a bakery recipe from an American source I always cut the sugar amount in half and it still ends up a little too sweet for my taste.

I'm am American baker and I know this is anecdotal but I've always cut sugar in half (or more) and I have nothing but rave reviews. Someone just paid me $100 for a cake. And I'm a hobbyist.

I think that most people here just don't know better, have never tried it any other way. And when you show them how it can be... they fall in love.

ETA: from recipes I get elsewhere. Most of my repipes are my own at this point.
