"He's boasting his candy" doesn't sound very natural.

However, "He's showing off his candy." is a very natural expression.

The word 'boast' is a verb that describes a verbal action, describing a person who uses words to 'show off' about their own accomplishments or other's.

Some examples of two mothers boasting about their smart children are:

Mom 1: "My daughter can read, speak and write English, Mandarin and Korean fluently. But what have your kids accomplished?"

Mom 2: "Well my son is fluent in English and French, and he's also learning Japanese."

Mom 1: "Surely my daughter could master the Japanese language if she wanted to learn it. She's quite the linguist."

Mom 2: "The same goes for my son. I'm confident that he could also pick up Korean and Mandarin just as well."
