What it is
These are chewy, fruit-flavored candies shaped like small worms. They come in a variety of bright colors and offer a sweet and tangy taste experience. The texture is soft and yielding, making them easy to chew. Each worm is individually coated with a fine layer of sugar, adding a slight crunch before the chewiness is revealed. They are a popular treat for many occasions.

These gummi worms are ready to eat straight from the package. For decorative purposes, they can be placed on top of frosted cakes, cupcakes, or cookies to add a pop of color and fun. They can also be mixed into homemade ice cream or frozen yogurt for added texture and flavor. When creating a candy buffet, they are a crowd-pleasing choice that appeals to both children and adults. Their chewy nature also makes them suitable for inclusion in homemade candy bark or as a sweet component in certain dessert parfaits.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to other gummy candies, these worms often have a distinctively softer chew and a more pronounced fruit flavor. The sugar coating provides a subtle textural contrast that differentiates them from smoother, un-coated gummies. Their elongated, worm-like shape is also a characteristic that sets them apart from round or bear-shaped gummies.

How to keep the rest
To maintain their freshness and chewy texture, store any remaining gummi worms in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid refrigerating them, as this can cause them to become hard and lose their desirable chewiness.
