"Candy is Dandy" is the first part of episode eight of The Powerpuff Girls season three, and the sixty-fourth episode overall. It aired on November 10, 2000 on Cartoon Network. It was written by Clay Morrow, directed by Randy Myers, and series creator, Craig McCracken, and voice directed by Genndy Tartakovsky and Collette Sunderman.

The Mayor agrees to reward the girls with delicious gumballs every time they fight a monster or stop a crime, but their addictive taste and flavor makes them so desperate they make a deal with Mojo.

Detailed summary

After the Powerpuff Girls save the Mayor from a clawed monster attacking Townsville, he rewards each one of the three a piece of candy. Although Blossom points out that the Professor doesn't want them to have candy, it soon fades away once the girls enjoyed its scrumptious taste. The girls ask the Mayor to have more, but were told that they can only have a piece after they save the day.

Flying back to their home, the girls anxiously wait for a phone call, just get their hands on the sweet reward. But as time passes by, they start to hallucinate candy and grew impatient, as there isn't any crime to solve. Blossom gets an idea, and the girls sneak out in an alley to meet up with Mojo Jojo. Both the girls and Mojo agree to make a deal; when Mojo gets arrested in jail for a crime he commits, the girls get the candy and set him free to repeat.

The plan works out very well at first, with Mojo getting caught in bars while the girls get rewarded with the candy's taste. It stayed that way until one day—after saving the city—when the Mayor tells them that Mojo stole his candy jar. Angry over this revelation, the girls scare him and storm at Mojo's cell, where he resides eating the candy. Mojo explains that while it was fun to wreck Townsville on a daily basis, he found it even more fun to simply steal the jar of candy. Now angrier than ever, the girls beat Mojo to the point of passing him out.

Upon seeing a single tear drop from Mojo's eye, the girls come to their senses and remorse for what they did. They head back to the Mayor's city hall and deliver an apology to him; explaining that both Mojo and the candy got the best of them. The Mayor is reluctant at first, but soon accepts it since they had truthfully learned their lesson. He rewards them with candy once more, and this time, the girls and the Mayor get bloated from all the sweets. Mojo inexplicably appears in the hall, lying still from all the pain he got.
