Does Your Gummy Have A Peel

The latest trend in gummy candy seems to be the idea that you can peel them. The concept is that each gummy candy is made with two different textures of gummy. The outside is a more chewy, durable gummy, while the inside is a soft a squishy gummy. Each of these gummies (so far) are shaped like different fruit that one might peel, like grapes or bananas. As a concept I'm a huge fan of this trend, it's not only clever, but thematically correct (so far). The actual peeling of these candies have proven to be a bit more challenging than I originally expected, but that could improve as technology gets better. The thing I'm looking forward to is the first creative gummy candy company that takes this trend and moves it out of peeling fruit. I feel like there's great promise for a really creepy Halloween candy here.

Feeling the Peeling

I really have mixed feelings about the peeling gummy trend. For those out of the loop, over the last few years there's been a trend of making gummy candy that you can peel. The concept is that you get a piece of fruit that often (but not always) has a peel, and make it using two different textures of gummy candy. The outside is often a fairly durable gummy while the centre is often very soft. I've often found that the soft gummy centre is a little too squishy and can make peeling difficult. In the case of these passion fruit gummies it was even worse, but it's slightly possible that it's supposed to be that way.
