Candy is not usually a separate gift for children. It comes in their stockings along with other small things or is part of the holiday decorations that they may eat (candy canes on the tree) or is out in a common bowl for everyone. It's not usually wrapped.
Adults may get speciality candy or other food gifts from acquaintences or non-close relatives. It's generally considered tacky to give close relatives home-made food gifts.
The fact the Weasleys give candy as a gift is one more flag of their poverty.
