FirstChoiceCandy Giant Gumdrops Assorted Sugar Sanded Gum Drops (2 Pound (Pack of 1))

I've sent this brand of giant gumdrops for the past three years, to our grandkids for their Christmas gumdrop tree. They report they're large, fresh and yummy, and enough colorful candies in the bag to replenish the tree. A good value, too, for 2 pounds.

They have good flavour, i would biy them again. The container was better than a baggie

Very tasteful

I don't know what all the whining is on other's reviews about these monsters being too big but, I am in love with them. I have an annual gingerbread house decorating party and these are fabulous for that. When ordering, I look at reviews beforehand and in this case, I purchased these extra large gumdrops because many were saying they were jumbo. They are hard to find in stores so, was glad to find them here.

I wanted something sweet and gumdrops sounded like just the thing. The picture looked intriguing. The price ($6/#) was more than I'd ever paid before for gum drops but these days almost everything is more. I ordered and they arrived just as promised. I tried one and after sucking on it for a while I realized there was almost no taste. I've probably tried all of the colors by now and the only one that has a distinct taste seems to be the black licorice and even that one is somewhat muted. The other thing I've noticed is that a number of them are not really gum drops; they are simply discs. They look like the top 2/3rds of the gumdrop has been sliced off before the sugar sanding was applied. Most of the reviews were positive although there were quite a few that were not and the lack of taste was mentioned in at least one. Even so, I wondered if I just wasn't tasting them very well so I've shared them with several visitors and asked how they liked them. All three were non-committal so I asked specifically about the taste and they all admitted that there wasn't any taste. I won't be buying them - or anything else from FirstChoiceCandy - again.

They were pretty smushed and a lot of sugar was just mixing around in the bag. The flavors seemed to be a bit off and artificial tasting.

I bought these to make nougat with. It turned out great! I had to hide these candies from my grandkids, though, because they tried to eat them all before I could make the nougat!

If you are enjoying them yourself, fine. However, using them as a party favor, I would pick another brand, these are stuck together and have many shapes and sizes like they are mistakes. I would not purchase again also some have way to muck sugar on them, That I would call scraps, but they call them Giant Gum Drops. They are not even close to any shape, some or so stale they break into pieces.
