gumdrop

Sugar-coated dome candy

A gumdrop is a small, cone-shaped candy with a soft, chewy interior coated in granulated sugar.

Gumdrops come in fruit flavors and bright colors—red, green, yellow, orange.

They're associated with holiday decorating, especially on gingerbread houses: The children stuck gumdrops all over the frosting.
