These all-new gummy treats from Squish Candies are designed to taste like mango and strawberry, but these are more than just ordinary fruit flavors.
These confections go by the name of 'Froyo,' and as their name suggests, the unique flavors take inspiration from frozen yogurt. While Squish Candies tags its Froyo gummies as "decadent" on its website because they are "all about sweet, creamy decadence," it's worth noting that these sweets are free from GMO ingredients, as well as fat, artificial colors and flavors. These sweets provide a convenient bite-sized alternative to consuming a full-sized frozen yogurt snack.
Squish Candies is one company that's no stranger to experimenting with radical candy flavors. Other items in its broad assortment include treats inspired by crossover food and drink flavors like champagne, mulled wine, yogurt and honey.
