My grandma always kept dime store gumdrops around when I was a kid and I couldn't figure out why. They were the last kind of candy I'd ever want to eat. Enter the Parisian Pate de Fruit, which is where, I'm guessing, the poor, sad American gumdrop derived from. This Pate de Fruit is an entirely different gummy animal. The tiny "drops" are loaded with flavor (and lovely flavors at that), the texture is awesome, and they're addictive. Good thing they're not inexpensive or they'd become a habit! I wish my grandma was here to try these.

Light, fruit forward, and delightful pates de fruit. Just sweet enough and a couple or three is all you need.

Good quantity of candies, but not crazy about the flavors - they are just different versions of sugar. In fact there are some fruit pates much cheaper than this, that taste way better. Looks good, but not for me.
