The first one is correct.
Because you don't have candy in a plate, you have it on a plate, and candy even though we know it is plural you would use "is"

Neither of the sentences is correct. The subject is LOT (not candy or candies).
1. There IS a lot of candies on the plate.
2. There IS a lot of candy of the plate.
The second sentence is more common because we usually consider candy as a non-countable noun.
