What is the right age to feed sweets and chocolates for kids?

I don't exactly remember when I started giving my child sweets, but I started giving her tiny bite of a chocolate after one year, just to see how she liked it. And whenever I used to have chocolate I started giving her little bits that could easily melt in her mouth. But I did not give her Indian mithai till she was three years. Myths are heavy so I did not risk giving to the little one before 3. And then I started off with a little bite of soft rasgulla. But whenever you start feeding your child sweets make sure to brush his teeth as tooth decay is a fast process in kids.
