The 10 best widely available gummy candies, according to a self-proclaimed gummy aficionado
Step aside, chocolate fans — gummy candies are all the rage right now. According to one analysis, the gummy candy category is already worth nearly $500 million, and it’s expected to grow into a $750 million business by 2032, proof positive that everyone’s into gummy candies right now. And what’s not to love? They’re sweet and chewy little treats that are nigh impossible to stop eating, especially for anyone who loves sinking their teeth into a candy that boasts a ton of QQ texture.
I consider myself a gummy aficionado. At every gas station and airport candy store, I am on the hunt for the best — and weirdest — gummy candies from the United States and beyond. I have a deep appreciation for German confectioner Haribo and its iconic gummy bears and really enjoy the current proliferation of foamy, sour Swedish gummies. As such, I feel uniquely qualified to bestow upon the internet this highly opinionated ranking of the best gummy candies out there, listed in descending order. Disagree? Too bad, make your own list.
