How do I make gummy candy that has the texture of "gummy vitamins"?

I know this sounds weird, but I've always loved the taste and texture of gummy medicine. (Like vitamins or melatonin gummies) It's not the same as gummy bears or worms. I can't find any gummy candy with the same texture as medicine gummies. Regular gummy candy has a chewy, springy, almost tough texture. Gummy medicines have a softer, easy to bite through texture, that always has a slight grit. How to replicate this at home? All the recipes I've found seem to attempt to replicate traditional gummy candies and don't satisfy my desire for that texture.

I'm trying to learn how to make candies, and while I can find lots of recipes for hard candy, I can't find anything for gummies that doesn't involve Jello. Can someone point me in a good direction?

I eventually want to make my own candies to sell. Nothing big, just local. Probably won't even get that far really. I just hate using the jello recipes cuz it doesn't feel like real gummies and it limits your flavors

Peach rings and other gummy candy

I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian (although the lacto is really just cheese, I don't drink milk lol) and I don't eat gelatin. I have a craving for peach rings and I'm wondering if any of you have any recommendations! Over the years I've found decent gummy candy from Trader Joe's and know what the accidentally vegan gummy candies are and 99% of the time that's totally fine. I really don't even eat candy usually, but I have a hankering!

Edit: I posted this and then immediately forgot! Thank you to everyone for answering! I have had the smart sweets peach rings but they are simply not the same πŸ₯²

[REQUEST] Hawaii looking to trade for Canadian or European sour gummy candy (sour soothers/keys, red band fruits, sour tongues etc)

Aloha, I'm on the big island of Hawaii. We have some unique stuff here that you can't get on mainland US - lots of Asian candies, lilikoi (passion fruit) and other tropical butters and jams, Kona coffee, Mochi, Ube (purple sweet potato) snacks, macadamia nut snacks and treats, and I'm sure a lot more stuff that I can't think of that I take for granted.

US sour gummy candies SUCK compared to Canada and Europe, so would love trade for the good stuff.

Thanks

Gummy and hard candy texture issues?

So first question! Hard candy has been much more successful of the two. I’m using LorAnn’s Hard Candy Mix, and mixing in tincture at the end of the process. The added moisture seems to affect the hardness of the candy and makes the end product more sticky than I’d like. Can this be mitigated by reducing the tincture down? Or is infused oil recommended for hard candy?

Second question regarding the gummies: the texture seems to be just… jello. Which is fine I guess? But not really what I want. I’m using tincture for this too, which may be the problem. I’m also not using lecithin, which may also be the problem.

I’ve used this recipe but as I said, didn’t use the lecithin.

Is the secret a different type of infusion (coconut oil maybe?), lecithin (soy or sunflower?) or maybe guar gum (which I’ve seen mentioned in other gummy texture posts)?

Anyway thanks in advance for reading my long winded post and for any advice you might have. ✌🏻

Trying to recall nostalgic gummy candy

Just had a Haribo Mega Roulette gummi candy and was reminded of a very similar harder gummy candy from childhood in the late 70s/early 80s. They were similarly concave, but I believe individually wrapped & also in a roll but maybe rectangular in shape? It’s driving me crazy not being able to remember or even find the name…

Thanks for any help!!
