Haribo Air-Drops Filled Fruit Candy 100g (3.5oz)

Haribo Air-Drops are hard shell fruit candies from Haribo — not gummies, but crisp-shelled hard candies with a soft fruit filling inside, in the Haribo fruit flavour range, producing a candy that delivers the familiar Haribo fruit flavour profile in the layered hard-candy format where the exterior cracks to reveal a softer, more intensely flavoured interior. Haribo is a German confectionery company founded in Bonn in 1920, and the Air-Drops line is the brand's entry in the filled hard candy category — distinct from the gummy formats the brand is best known for, and representing the range's extension beyond gummy confectionery into the hard candy and filled sweet categories. Filled hard candies occupy the broad middle ground between the lollipop and the plain hard candy in the European confectionery register: the format that German, Austrian, and Central European candy producers have maintained as the standard after-dinner sweet, the type of candy that is kept in a bowl at the reception desk, distributed at the bank counter, and carried in coat pockets as the portable sweet for anytime consumption. Eat as the fruit-filled Haribo hard candy alongside other confections, keep in a desk drawer or coat pocket as the portable fruit sweet, or set in a bowl as the non-gummy Haribo option for the candy lover who prefers the hard candy format.
