At last something I can comment on - in spite of my terrible english:
Yes, they definetly do! 
English candy is the exact opposit of american choccolat-bars. While
german cookies are somewhere inbetween.
>From an american point of view this might solve the question of what was
meant by the "Fire of Paradise" too.  It is hell christianity (the
american majority I suppose) associates with fire and not paradise. And
it is sweet you associate with candy and not bitter and slippery. The
"Fire of Paradise" in this case is the ultimate english candy - pure
tearing-you-appart poison.
