How it differs from similar foods

Their fruit-forward flavors are often more pronounced and varied than hard candies, and they lack the crispness of chocolate or the melt-in-your-mouth quality of marshmallows.
Who it is for
People of all ages enjoy gummi candies as a simple, sweet indulgence.
How to keep the rest
To maintain their chewy texture and prevent them from drying out, store any remaining gummi candies in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or extreme heat, which can cause them to melt or become sticky. Properly stored, they will remain fresh for an extended period.
