Answer:

If they are small enough pick them up and lean them forward over one arm and firmly clap them on the back to try and dislodge the candy. If the child is bigger the basic heimlich maneuver should be used. If candy is still stuck call 911.

Explanation:

The heimlich maneuver is done by making a fist and holding/cupping the fist with your other hand while positioned behind the choking person give firm upward thrusts to the area just below the sternum.
