gummi bear

Gelatin-based confection

A gummi bear is a small, chewy candy shaped like a bear, made from gelatin, sugar, and flavorings.

Originally a German confection, gummi bears come in various fruit flavors typically indicated by their bright colors.

The spelling varies between gummi, gummy, and the German original Gummibär.

They spawned an entire category of gummi candies in other shapes—worms, rings, sharks—but the bear remains the iconic form.
