Gumdrops are a type of colourful sweet (candy). They are made from gelatine or pectin and tend to come in bright colours. Individually quite small, they are shaped like a truncated cone and are covered in sugar. They taste of different fruits, with the colour of the gumdrop intending to represent the flavour.
With their small size and bright colours, as well as being eaten like any other candy, gumdrops are also popularly used in baking and other related crafts to decorate other foods.
As well as the fruit flavoured gumdrops, there are also spice drops. These look the same as gumdrops, but they are instead flavoured with spices rather than fruit, which tend to have sharper flavours.
