That's a loaded question but yeah I go like gummies, I also really like sweet and sour lolipops, I haven't seen them for years, but the ones Charms used to make were awesome.

Nestled in the Eastern foothills of the Washington Cascades is a small town called Cashmere. The area produces a lot of apples, pears, stone fruit, and other things that you can make into fruity versions of turkish delight.

Liberty Orchards, located in Cashmere, do just that. You may have encountered their Aplets & Cotlets, which are made with apples and apricots respectively.

Goddamn I love those things.
