My next post is actually for a gummy I tried a while ago, Haribo Smurfs. A friend gifted me a case of these for Christmas and I was eager to try them. As you can see from the image, these are extremely cute and the colors are very inviting, to me at least. The smurf bodies are a bright translucent blue and the hats are clear and red. These are actually a bit larger then a regular gummy, about an inch tall and half an inch wide, but they aren't that thick, about the thickness of a Swedish Fish. These are very chewy and I'm not sure I would classify these as a gummy really, even though they are sold as a gummy. These are more of a wine gum in texture, much like a Swedish Fish in this respect also. The flavor is a light fruit flavor I couldn't quite put my finger on. It may be raspberry, very nice but I wish it was a bit more intense. The batch I had was a little hard but I have read that these are supposed to be very soft so I wonder if I may have had a stale batch. I definitely will try these again to see if there is a change in texture. I would recommend trying these if you like wine gum candies, but don't expect them to be like a traditional gummy bear.
