Sweet Orange Candy Twists
What it is
These are brightly colored, individually wrapped candy twists with a distinct orange flavor. They are a type of hard candy, meaning they are solid and meant to be slowly dissolved in the mouth. The twisting shape is characteristic of many traditional candies, offering a visually appealing presentation. The candy is typically made with sugar, corn syrup, and artificial or natural orange flavoring, along with coloring agents to achieve its vibrant hue.
