Candy
Popular types of Italian candy
There is something special about Italian candies – perhaps it is in the source of the ingredients, or in the production process, the flavor and texture of these traditional delights is simply divine! Italian candies come in several major categories: hard candies, soft candies, and hard candies filled with a soft texture in the middle.
While hard candies are a perennial favorite, soft textured candies are becoming more popular. The soft textured candies come individually wrapped and can have either a soft caramel-like texture, or a gummy, gel-like texture with delicious, fruit-infused flavors. Combining the best of both worlds, the hard textured candy with the soft filling gives both a flavorful crunch and a satisfying chewy texture when you get to the center. Chewing gum is another popular form of Italian candy. Typically mint flavored, it also comes in various fruit flavors.
