Snug Slug Activities

When I was little, my Dad always had Jolly Ranchers in his workshop. He kept them in an old Maxwell House coffee tin that was missing its lid.

While Jolly Ranchers are not my favourite candy, they do hold a certain nostalgia, and I love to occasionally indulge.

Lately it seems there has been a surge of making gummies that are flavoured like candies that are not normally gummies. I like gummies, so no complaints about that trend, and I was excited to try the Jolly Rancher ones specifically. While I am aware that these have been around for several years now, I haven’t had much opportunity to try them.

The verdict: I like them!

I like the texture; they have a good amount of chew without being tough. The flavours are pretty accurate; they taste like Jolly Ranchers. Watermelon Jolly Ranchers are my favourite, and that stands true with these gummies. I didn’t like blue raspberry flavoured things in general as a child, something about the blue colour was off-putting for me, but it has grown on me over the last couple of years. Actually, I would say that the green apple is my least favourite now; it’s good but it doesn’t make me want to go back for more.

Of course, my flavour preferences are completely based on my personal taste. I would say they are all equally accurate relative to their harder counterparts.
