"One candy, two candies"

Translation: Jeden cukierek, dwa cukierki

[GP62HE]

So cukierek is nominative singular? As well as, possibly accusative, in written language, but not in spoken, would instead be cukierka (according to a previous post)? Depending whether it is counted as masculine animate or not.
I find this so confusing....

[Jellei]

Yes, it is Nominative singular, and also I'd say that it's among those foods that are usually treated as grammatically animate, for example for "Do you want a candy?" I'd only say "Chcesz cukierka?" and not "Chcesz cukierek?", although technically the latter should be the correct variant.

Thanks for the helpful explanation!
