Gummy bites can be eaten directly from the package as a quick sweet treat. They are also commonly used to decorate cakes, cupcakes, and cookies, adding a pop of color and fun shapes.

They can be incorporated into homemade candy mixes or used as a colorful garnish for fruit salads. Their soft texture makes them easy to chew and enjoy in many ways.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
To keep the rest of the gummy bites fresh and prevent them from sticking together, store them in their original packaging or an airtight container.
