Candy or candies? I'm really confused about this... I've got two pieces of candy or I've got two candies. Which one is correct?

Both are correct, so it would depend on the context. "I have two pieces of candy" is more proper than "I've got".

When you say “two pieces of candy” you are identifying each piece individually. So you use the singular “candy”. When you say I have candies” you are referring to all the candy so it becomes candies in plural form.
