Why "конфет" and not "конфетов"?

The sentence "У нас нет конфет" ("We have no candies") seems to translate to we have no candies. I know that following the word нет we need to be in the genitive case and

I believe the word конфет should take on the following properties

  1. genitive case
  2. plural
  3. inanimate
  4. masc.

If the above is correct then it should be У нас нет конфетов?
