The taste is warm almost spicy but generally wont burn your mouth, it is sweet and alot of ginger candy is chewy and stretchy. It almost tastes peppery. It is availible at Asian Grociery stores and Markets. There are a lot of these types of places in Los Angeles and surrounding areas, including hollywood, or you might also buy it on the internet here. http://www.reedsgingerbrew.com/candy.htm... Thats Reeds brand which is good Here are some others.

Candied Ginger
Ginger
Water
Sugar
Peel the ginger and slice it into rounds about 1/8 inch thick. For every cup of ginger slices, bring 3 cups water and 3 cups sugar to a boil in a large sauce pan. When the sugar is completely dissolved, add the ginger and boil for 45 minutes, until the ginger is sweet and tender. Drain the ginger, reserving the liquid. Place the ginger on a rack to dry for 30 minutes, then toss it with enough granulated sugar to coat. Let it dry on wax paper and then store in an airtight container.
Boil the reserved liquid until it is reduced to a syrup with a consistency somewhere between maple syrup and honey. This will intensify its flavor. This syrup can be used for pancakes, waffles, or ice cream, and is an extra bonus for making your own candied ginger.
I forget the name, but I have found a hard ginger candy at Trader Joe's before in the candy section. If there's no Trader Joe's, maybe a World Market? might have it. Sometimes real ginger is used and sometimes it is just ginger flavoring.
