are these gummy or hard? I searched for gummy lollipop and gummy sucker and these came up both times, trying to find a sucker that isn't hard

These are hard. Not sure why they would show up as gummy - they definitely aren't.

These are hard however they also make gummy bears and sour jelly beans which are also delicious.

OK...I loved these, because they are extremely stiff; which means they keep their "star" shape, even though pressed together in a sack. The stiffness affects flavor a lot; they don't easily melt in the mouth. I would guess they have twice the usual gelatine content. Also, these are more for decorating than eating, imho...the flavors are not terribly pronounced, except for the orangey one, which tastes like candied grapefruit peel or really good European candied citron with a lot of the peel. My 16 year old daughter loves them; but that may have something to do with the usual lack of any candy in the house. Hope this helps.

They are both - probably more chewy than crunchy. If you get them FRESH they are crunchier. If you have issues with sticky sweetness, you may want to take a pass on these. The fresher they are, the less they seem sticky sweet. Hope that helps!

They are hard, but very easy to chew. I have a lazy eater and he loves them. I know the gummies would be awesome, but they would just not work with these since they are made from real WHOLE food, as opposed to synthetic vitamins.

These are hard candies, which is what I prefer. I've never seen soft Starlight Peppermints, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Hope this helps.

I ordered them for my granddaughters and had them delivered to their home. They are plates and they lived them. Besides, if it had been candy there would have been a huge ruckus from their mama who doesn't allow candy unless it meets her approval!! Very health conscious family. Good luck!

Dear Ms Beard: Thank you for your email. Please note item # 20240, "Christmas Tree Lollipops" feature a swirl design of red, green, and or white. Unfortunately we are unable to advise what flavor these are. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Thank you for contacting Collections Etc. on Amazon!

Since it's a "gummy", possibly. Yet, it's lighter in consistency than gummy bears. NOTE: My apology that my response took this long.

Hi Sue. They are a hard chalky type. The texture as I chewed it even felt different than the Flintstone vitamin which chews and feels more like candy. This just felt different. Hope that helps!

Hi, Robert -No, these are quite sweet, but they are NOT coated with sugar. They are as naked as the day they were born. Picked. Whatever.I think you're referring to my favorite Christmas treat from childhood, a date with a quarter-pecan inserted, and then rolled in pure tooth-corrupting sugar. Makes me wonder how I survived...;)Anyway, I will offer some specifics:1) Some are dryer than you will like; these chop nicely into oatmeal or other fare.2) Some are plump and juicy.3) Use a paper towel, because your fingers WILL be sticky. Or use a toothpick, I suppose.4) Get the kids hooked on these, and you'll never buy another KitKat.Hope that helps! Hi, Robert -No, these are quite sweet, but they are NOT coated with sugar.

Hard candy kinda ... as long as its completely crushed up ... as close to sugar as possible. generic hard candy works pretty well, Jolly rancher kinda ok... gummy HECK NO!!!! Make sense?

Yes. I use these regularly for hard candy. Not sure for soft. Use slowly. I added the amount I usually use from store bought brands and ended up with a very dark, almost crimson, strawberry sucker.

They're hard chew sticks. Not as hard as a bully stick but definitely not soft. I would compare them to chewing a carrot.

They are VERY sweet, and the marshmallow-y bottom adds a bit of different texture not normally found in gummis. The kids gobbled them up, but I could only eat a couple before sugar overload hit. There is a slight berry flavor, but otherwise they are just SWEET.

No, they aren't. My kids could eat them but I sucked on them. They are the original candy which were hard.

I'm curious... did you end up using these for fruit snacks? I'm looking for something to make vitamins with gelatin and was wondering if it was difficult to get the snacks out of the tray. Thanks!

I haven't heard of any gummy candy containing nuts in them like chocolates. However, I don't know the mental state of those gummy workers, so in all fairness, maybe there is a nut or two in the facility.
