How people cook with it

- Snack on them anytime
- Decorate cakes and cupcakes

Gummy candies are ready to eat straight from the package. For decorative purposes, they can be placed on top of frosting or incorporated into candy melts. They can also be melted down gently to create a glaze or sauce, though care must be taken not to overheat them, as this can alter their texture and flavor. Some people enjoy them chilled for a firmer bite.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to hard candies, gummies have a soft, elastic texture due to their gelatin content. Unlike chocolate, they do not melt easily at room temperature. Their chewy nature distinguishes them from brittle candies or wafers.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining gummies in their original packaging or an airtight container. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in humid environments, as this can cause them to stick together.
