Gundells

Gundells are a type of confectionery, specifically a chewy candy. They are typically oval-shaped and coated in a sugar shell. The interior of a gundell is soft and gummy, often with a fruit flavor. Common flavors include strawberry, lemon, and orange. The texture is designed to be firm enough to hold its shape but yielding when chewed.

The exact origin and manufacturer of gundells are not widely documented, suggesting they may be a regional or less globally recognized confection. Their popularity can fluctuate, but they remain a familiar treat for many. The candy's simple composition, primarily sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, and flavoring agents, makes them a straightforward sweet. The sugar coating provides a slight crunch before giving way to the softer candy inside, creating a dual textural experience. Gundells are often sold in bulk or in small bags, making them an accessible snack. They are a popular choice for children and adults alike who enjoy a chewy, fruity candy.
