Hey there, candy lovers! I’m sure chewy candies have been a familiar treat since you were a child. Chewy candies come in many different shapes, colours, and flavours. But all of them have the same soft and chewy texture that both children and adults can enjoy. Chewy candies commonly come in fruity and milky flavours.
Although chewy candies have almost the same texture characteristics as gummy candies, these candies differ from each other. Gummy candies tend to have a clear, translucent appearance while chewy candies are fully opaque. Chewy candies are mainly made of sugar that has been concentrated to make it obtain its chewy trait. On the other hand, gummy candies mainly obtain their chewy trait from gelling agents such as gelatine.
Now let us proceed to the top 10 list of chewy candies!

Chewy candies are nice to chew but they vary in ingredients and some other aspects too. So here is a little guide about chewy candies for you!
Take note on:
- The filling. (Some chewy candies have filling, some don’t. It is totally up to your preferences!)
- The shape. (The basic shapes of the candies are round, square, and oval shapes But there are other types that have an elongated shape which is preferable for children to prevent any choking hazard).
- Presence of gelatine. (Some chewy candies have gelatin in them, some don’t. If you are okay with it, then it shouldn’t be a problem.)
