Sphereens

Sphereens are a type of small, spherical candy. They are typically hard candies with a chewy or gummy center. The outer shell is often flavored and brightly colored, while the inner core can contain a different flavor or a liquid filling. Sphereens are known for their satisfying crunch followed by a yielding chew.

The production of sphereens involves a process of coating a chewy center with layers of hardened sugar syrup. This creates the distinct texture that defines the candy. They are manufactured by various confectionery companies and can be found in a wide range of flavors, including fruit, mint, and even cola.

Sphereens are popular as a casual treat and are often sold in bulk or in small bags. Their small size and distinct texture make them appealing to both children and adults. The combination of the hard outer shell and soft inner filling provides a unique sensory experience. While the exact origins are not widely documented, similar layered candies have existed for a long time, evolving into the modern sphereen. They represent a simple yet enjoyable confectionery innovation.
