Haribo Rainbow Worms

Haribo Rainbow Worms are gummy worms in assorted colors, sold as a snack candy. The name points to a mixed bag of fruit flavors, but the product details don't list the flavors, so check the pack for the exact lineup. Gummy worms in this style are usually chewy and gelatin-based, with a lightly sweet-tart fruit taste. They are sold as a sharing snack, and a handful of worms goes a long way. They keep best at room temperature, in a cool, dry spot away from direct sun. Heat makes gummies sticky and soft, and the fridge makes them firmer and chewier. Some people chill them on purpose for a denser bite. Once the bag is open, reseal it tightly so the worms don't dry out and toughen. Because they are bright and bendy, they work as decoration as well as a snack. They look good draped over a cupcake, pressed into a "dirt cup" dessert, or hung on the rim of a glass of lemonade or soda. They also suit a candy board or a party favor bag. Pairing them with fizzy, sour or citrus drinks tends to balance the sweetness. A cold glass of milk is the classic alternative.
