gumdrops

Chewy sugar domes

Gumdrops are small, brightly colored candies made from sugar, corn syrup, and gelatin, typically coated in granulated sugar.

They have a firm, chewy texture and come in fruit flavors.

The name describes their shape—rounded drops.

The gingerbread house was decorated with gumdrops and candy canes.
