Wonka Puckerooms
One of their new candies is Puckerooms Sour Gummy Candy. They’re sour gummies (unlike the Sluggles, which are sweet gummies) in mushroom shapes and three different flavors. The new Wonka’s Edible Garden are made with natural ingredients, including fruit juice and no artificial colorings or flavorings. (But of course they’re gummis and are not vegetarian since they use gelatin ... and in this case cochineal color, too.)
There are three flavors and three different shapes (though the shapes are applied to all the flavors): Cherry - as you can see from the photo, I found a grape & cherry combo, but for the most part the cherry ones were single flavored. It’s a tart cherry with a black cherry darkness beneath but a lingering sour. It got my glands a’tinglin’. Grape - it’s just so fun for me to have grape gummis, I have a hard time focusing on these for the review. The grape flavor is much like concord grape jam with Pixy Stix poured over it. (Come on, if you’d thought of it as a kid, you would have loved it!) Lemon/Orange - I loved the look of these, the orange was always on the top, making the stem lemon. The flavors were a good blend of citrus zest and of course a sour punch that lasted beyond the grainy coating and permeated the soft gummi. The lemon and orange were distinct but blended well. The sourness isn’t blisteringly strong, in fact, I found them barely more tart than the Sluggles, just more consistently tangy from start to finish. I like the option of really potent gummis made without artificial flavors & colors, so these are real winners. I saw them at Target over the weekend for $1.59 for a 6.5 ounce bag, so it’s not like parents need to compromise here - the kids get a mainstream treat without going to a special store. (Of course that doesn’t mean adults can’t enjoy them.) Related Candies

I appreciate you mentioning when candies have gelatin and other non-vegetarian items in them. My friends often forget that as a vegetarian I can’t eat gelatin, and they give me lovely candies that I have to give away or toss out!
Thanks for your careful attention to warning vegetarians when you review candies!
I liked them but didn’t love them…I was disappointed with the low level of sourness. I thought the flavors were nice and the texture was really great, chewy and soft but still gummi.
These actually look quite good and fun to eat. I wonder why I haven’t seen them yet?
I wanna try these,they look so good but I can’t find them anywhere.
Can’t even find the sluggles:( glad someone mentioned I can get em at target-that’s my next stop
These are fab-u-lous! I’m hooked! i wish they were a bit more tart though.
