National Gumdrop Day


Feb. 15 is National Gumdrop Day. Spicy or sweet and colorful to eat, gum drops are delicious bite-sized treats made with gelatin or pectin and coated in sugar. Although its origins are unknown, the annual “holiday” is celebrated one day after Valentine’s Day.

This National Gumdrop Day, why not whip up a gumdrop recipe or play a nostalgic game of Candy Land in honor of this annual event?
