Smarties Squashies - Raspberry & Cream
Smarties Squashies: Raspberry & Cream Gummi Candy - 142g (5.0 oz)
Product Overview Smarties Squashies are a dual-textured gummi confection that combines the flavor profiles of tart fruit and sweetened cream. Unlike traditional firm gummies, Squashies feature a unique "foamed" consistency that results in a soft, airy, and compressible texture. Each piece is rectangular and bi-colored (pink and white), representing the raspberry and cream components respectively.
