Initialize a dynamic array of structures

[catnsmith]

I have been following C++ primer plus by Stephen Prata and am having trouble with an exercise relating to creating a dynamic array of structures. To be more specific initializing the members of the array. Here is the code I have got so far:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

struct CandyBar{
	string name;
	double weight;
	double calories;
};

int main()
{
	CandyBar* sweet = new CandyBar[3];
	sweet = {
		{ "Mocha Munchy", 200, 300 },
		{ "Chocolaty Cats", 490, 100 },
		{ "Diabolical Dippers", 100 200};
	};

	
	cout << sweet[0].name << " weighs " << sweet[0].weight << endl;
	cout << " and contains only " << sweet[0].calories << "!\n";
	
	cout << sweet[1].name << " weighs " << sweet[1].weight << endl;
	cout << " and contains only " << sweet[1].calories << "!\n";
	
	cout << sweet[2].name << " weighs " << sweet[2].weight << endl;
	cout << " and contains only " << sweet[2].calories << "!\n";
	
	delete[] sweet;
	
	return 0;
}

This doesn't compile, producing the error message on line 15: "Expected primary expression before { token."

Am I correct in thinking that I need to initialize each member individually?

CandyBar* sweet = new CandyBar[3];
	sweet[0].name = "Mocha Munchy";
	sweet[0].weight = 200;
	sweet[0].calories = 300;
	//etc... 

Or is there a less tedious way?
Cheers
