Hailing from Europe, gummy candy made its debut in the 1920s with the Dancing Bear, a precursor to the popular Gummi Bear of today. Similar, but not quite identical, to wine gum style candies like Swedish Fish, gummy candy is sure to delight anybody who remembers it from their childhood and to make anyone who hasn't tried it before fall in love with its sweet fruit flavors and unique texture.
That unique, rubbery texture found in gummy candy comes from gelatin. And it isn't limited to just bears ' around the world, confectioners make gummy candy in the shape of jewelry, animals, fruits, vegetables, popular characters like the Smurfs and even foods like cheeseburgers. In the United Kingdom, the most popular candies are Jelly Babies ' famously a favorite of the late Beatle George Harrison.
