Jostettes

Jostettes are a type of small, round confection, often described as a hard candy or a chewy caramel. They are typically fruit-flavored, with popular varieties including lemon, orange, and cherry. The texture can vary, with some being firm and brittle like a jawbreaker, while others possess a more yielding, chewy quality. Jostettes are a type of candy that can be found in many candy stores and supermarkets, often sold in bulk or in pre-packaged bags. Their origins are not definitively documented, but they appear to be a traditional candy with a long history, particularly in certain European countries. The name itself does not have a clear etymological root, adding to their somewhat enigmatic nature. They are enjoyed by people of all ages as a simple and sweet treat.
