I truly didn’t expect the concept of this treat to work at all. There are really two snacks that are combined in this treat. The first is those cookies/crackers that you often see on store shelves that come with a side of dip. I’ve seen many brands from Ritz to Nutella make this kind of snack, and very often it works fairly well. The other snack, and the part that makes this unique, is gummies. So basically it appears that Yupi has decided to take the concept of a cracker or cookie with dip, but use gummies instead. On paper it sounds like a really bad idea, but strangely it worked.

The key to making this work is the shape of gummies and the texture of everything. The gummies had to be firm enough to dip, and most importantly the sauce had to be thin enough that you could dip a gummy in it. If the gummy was too soft or the sauce too firm, it would have been a disaster. I will say that they went for a runnier sauce over a super hard gummy. I would describe the gummies as fairly average, but not that firm. The sauce on the other hand was a slightly thick slime. If you turned the container upside down it would pour out fairly easily. It was sticky, but there was no problem dipping the gummies in the sauce.

The theme of this treat did confuse me a bit. You can pretty much make gummies into any shape you want, but for some reason Yupi decided that kids/adults would like to dip bone shaped gummies into a bright green sauce. There’s nothing else on the package that would indicate why they chose a bone shape, but that’s really the one way I could describe them. The flavours seemed to be orange for the gummies, and maybe apple for the sauce. I’ll be honest, the flavours were fairly generic and not that bold, so I could be wrong about that. I also got a very slight hint of sour, but I’m not sure if it’s from the sauce or the gummy.

I didn’t mind this gummy treat, and it was fairly creative. I would probably describe it as a first attempt at something that could probably work out better with a little refinement.
