What it is
Sour Belts are a popular type of confectionery. They are long, flat strips of chewy candy coated in a sour sugar mixture. The texture is typically soft and pliable, making them easy to chew. These candies come in a variety of fruit flavors, offering a sweet and tangy taste experience. They are often brightly colored, adding to their appeal as a fun treat. The sour coating provides an initial tartness that balances the sweetness of the candy itself.
