Gummy worms emerged as a popular choice among Halloween trick-or-treaters and are also used as party favors.

The most common types of gummy worms typically contain gelatin, sugar, water, corn syrup or glucose syrup, flavorings (such as fruit extracts or artificial flavors), coloring agents, and, in some cases, citric acid for a sour taste.

In terms of size, gummy worms can range from small, bite-sized pieces to larger, jumbo versions.

Additionally, there are variations in texture, with some gummy worms having a softer, chewier consistency while others provide a firmer bite.
