Candy named for its shape (4)

I believe the answer is:

dots

(Other definitions for dots that I've seen before include "Tiny circular shapes" , "Tiny spots" , "Very small round shapes" , "Shorter signals in the Morse code" , "Short signals in Morse cods" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
