Eye candy is a term used in information technology for visual elements displayed on computer monitors that are aesthetically appealing or attention-compelling. There are several different usages:
1) Eye candy sometimes means any frill or decorative design intended to enhance the basic content of a presentation. In this usage, the connotation of "unnecessary" may or may not be present.
2) It is also used to refer to software that produces psychedelic or fractal images on a display as a screensaver or background. Some eye candy programs use audio input to generate sympathetic graphical output - in effect, sophisticated sound-to-light effects. In some cases, the software exists solely to provide visual entertainment or atmosphere as either a background or as a celebration of the technological possibilities.

eye candy; the term seems self-explanatory to me
candy for the mouth is a diversion and is generally unhealthy; did you know dentists would go out of business if people looked after their teeth themselves
candy for the eyes can be equally destructive; if you don't think it is an insult to a person to ogle their genitals, think again
if you don't think looking at other people is hurtful to your partner, no matter what their reaction seems to be, think again
if you don't think presenting yourself as a piece of candy to the opposite sex is bad for society, think again
if it's not for sale, don't put it in the window!
