Jelly Candy

Jelly candy encompasses gummies, jelly babies, and similar chewy treats such as Spice Drops, boasts a history stretching back to ancient times with predecessors like Turkish Delight, which originated in the 18th century. Gelatin-based jelly candies gained traction in the 19th century after Peter Cooper patented powdered gelatin in 1845. German confectioner Hans Riegel Sr. popularized gummy bears in the 1920s, founding Haribo Candy. These candies offer a unique, satisfying chewiness from gelatin (or plant-based alternatives like pectin for vegan options), and their vibrant colors and diverse flavors appeal to a broad demographic, from classic fruit tastes to more gourmet and adventurous combinations.
