Gummy bear
A kind of gummy candy · also called Gummi bear
About
The gummy bear is a small, chewy gelatin candy shaped like a bear, measuring less than an inch long.
While classic gummy bears are bite-sized, novelty versions can range from tiny miniature candies to giant five-pound treats. They are generally smaller and firmer than related sweets like jelly babies, which have a softer starch coating. Because of their gelatin network, standard gummy bears can absorb water and swell to several times their original volume when submerged.
From Wikipedia
Gummy bears are small, fruit gum candies, similar to a jelly baby in some English-speaking countries. The candy is roughly 2 cm (0.8 in) long and shaped in the form of a bear.
