Let’s Try Jolly Rancher Sour Gummied
When I think of Jolly Ranchers, it takes me back to elementary School. The old school wrappers and the shape of the candy was different. This summer has been the summer of sour gummies for me. So when I saw that Jolly Rancher had taken shot at it, I knew I wanted to try them.
The main complaint I have is specifically for the bag that I purchased. This bag was extremely lemon heavy, and I personally am not the biggest fan of lemon. The gummies flavors are strikingly similar to their hard candy counterparts but of course with a sour twist!!
These would definitely be a repurchase for me!
As a self-proclaimed sour candy aficionado, I've been on a mission this summer to try every sour gummy I can get my hands on. So, when I spotted the vibrant green bag of Jolly Rancher Sour Gummies, I knew they had to be next on my list. My mind immediately went back to those classic hard candies from elementary school, so the idea of a sour, chewy version was incredibly exciting! My first impression was how true they stayed to the iconic Jolly Rancher fruit flavors. You truly get that distinct taste you remember, but with a fantastic sour kick. For those wondering about the sour level – I'd say it's a good medium-level sour. It's enough to make you pucker a bit, especially on the first few bites, but it doesn't linger painfully. It’s a pleasant tang that enhances the fruitiness rather than overpowering it, making them quite addictive. Now, let's talk about the flavors, especially since the bag I got seemed to be a lemon fest! While I generally enjoy lemon, this particular batch was definitely heavy on it. However, I did get to try the other delicious flavors. The blue raspberry is a standout – perfectly sweet and tart, just like the classic hard candy. The green apple delivers that signature crisp, tangy profile, and the cherry offers a bold, sweet-tart burst. The watermelon is incredibly refreshing and one of my favorites, balancing sweetness with a lovely sour note. Even the lemon, despite its abundance in my bag, was bright and zingy, offering a satisfying citrus punch. It's great to see all these classic Jolly Rancher flavors translated so well into a gummy form. The texture of these gummies is spot on too. They're soft enough to chew easily but have a satisfying springiness that prevents them from being overly sticky. They definitely hit that "chewy candy" craving without being too tough on your teeth, which is a big plus for me. Compared to the original Jolly Rancher hard candies, these sour gummies offer a completely different experience while retaining the core flavors. If you're a fan of their "Sour Surge" hard candies, you'll appreciate the sour coating here, but in a much softer, chewier form. I imagine these could quickly become a favorite for anyone who loves sour candy or is looking for a nostalgic treat with a modern twist. Finding them hasn't been a problem; I've spotted them at various places, including my local Walmart candy aisle. For the price, you get a decent amount of candy, and they’re perfect for sharing (or not!). If you're like me and love a sour kick, I'd highly recommend picking up a bag. Just be prepared – you might find yourself reaching for another handful sooner than you think!
