We all have a sweet tooth, right? It's just about how you indulge that craving. For me, it was always about the gummy snacks that came into their own and then came to dominate the nineties and the aughts. It's these two decades that the sticky, stret...
That's why I keep a trove next to my bed. What's your go-to?
The never fail gummy bear.
HARIBO Goldbears
I love the original sweet swimmer's.
Trader Joe's Scandinavian Swimmers
Yo, these are my favorite right now. Each fruit flavor comes through noticeably so you know if you're having a watermelon, peach, pineapple, grape, or whatever.
Fruity Gummy Candies
This strawberry licorice ain't your red vine (yuck!). You need to get with the Aussie style strawberry (or mango) licorice. They are soft, chewy, and delicious.
Darrell Lea Soft Australian Strawberry Licorice
Put in the cart.
Soft Strawberry Licorice Twists | Trader Joe's
A lunchtime vending machine or snack-shack classic. We all love the original mix of flavors but we traded for watermelon and blue raspberry.
SOUR PATCH Watermelon Soft & Chewy Candy
where were you the first time that kid gave you one of these, individually wrapped, delicately sized fruit-flavored confections? I think I was in high school, maybe college. Peach is a top choice, but I also love (gasp!) grape.
Kasugai Peach Japanese Fruit Gummy Candy - 107g
It's the better starburst. Yep, I said it. Come at me! Hi-Chew are more balanced, less grind your teeth sweet and perfect to share.
Hi-Chew - The Famous Fruity Chewy Candy From Japan.
These might be my favorite sour candy. There's something satisfying about eight legs of sour fun, and the different combinations of flavors. Yes, I know I'm an adult, but not all the time.
Sour Brite Octopus, Sour Gummy Candy - Trolli
The flavor on these gummy bears is insanely good and the potency of each flavor hits you as soon as you open the bag. I think Walgreens carries them, so easy to find and easy to consume.
Gummi Bears - Albanese Candy
you're making changes in your life. I get it, we can't be crushing sugar bombs all the time. If you need a taste but not the whole thing, then go ahead, take down a bag of these overpriced “healthy" candies.
But seriously, these are great if you've got kids to keep happy. Keep the good stuff for us adults.
