About This Candy
The Texture and Feel of Sour Strawberry Pencil Bites
Sour Strawberry Bites deliver a sharp fizzy hit the moment the sour coating dissolves on the tongue. The acid layer uses malic, citric and tartaric acid together for a triple-wave tang that builds fast. Each piece has a firm, chewy gummy outer shell wrapped around a soft white fondant centre. Meanwhile, the contrast between crunchy sour coating, elastic gummy and smooth fondant creates a three-layer texture in every bite. As you chew through the body, the strawberry flavour deepens from bright and tangy into a warmer, sweeter berry finish. The aroma is fruit-forward with a light citric edge and no artificial sharpness. This fizzy strawberry candy keeps its flavour steady from the first chew to the last. The mouthfeel stays clean with the fondant melting smoothly as the gummy dissolves. Overall, the three-texture format delivers more complexity than flat gummy bites or single-layer sour candy.
Why These Strawberry Fondant Sweets Hit Different
These bites come from Vidal, a Spanish confectionery house with over six decades of candy expertise across Europe. Sour Strawberry Bites are essentially chopped fizzy strawberry pencils, cut into snackable pieces that expose the white fondant filling at each end. The recipe uses wheat flour and corn starch for structure instead of gelatin, keeping them fully gelatin-free. Because the colours come from fruit and vegetable concentrates including carrot and blackcurrant alongside carmine E120, the strawberry shade has a rich, natural depth. Each bag arrives packed fresh by Kandy Lover and shipped directly from Sweden. The sour coating stays sharp and the fondant stays soft.
