The 5 BEST SOUR BELTs CANDY
When it comes to sour candy, there are hundreds of shapes, sizes and brands to choose from. Yet among the pantheon of sugary deliciousness, few can top the almighty sour belt. From the classic rainbow variety to more unusual flavors, over the years they’ve quickly become a favorite among candy fans.
Yet not all sour belt are created equal. That’s why I’ve put together this list, putting my tastebuds to the test and munching my way through almost a dozen different varieties to find the very best of the best. So prepare to pucker up as we unroll… the top five sour belt candies.
5. ZWEET SOUR BELTS
Kicking off my list at number five are the legendary Zweet Sour Belts. These mouthwatering candies are a testament to the perfect balance between sour and sweet. What really sets them apart thought is their exceptional tartness, combined with a unique blend of fruit flavors, with each a burst of pure fruity goodness.
4. AIRHEADS XTREMES SOUR BELTS
Airheads have been a go-to candy for years, but they’re not exactly known for their sourness. Enter Airheads Xtremes sour belts. These unique candies offer an incredible texture that’s simultaneously chewy, stretchy and sour. While they come in a classic rainbow variety, you can also pick them up in a bite sized pack, offering powerful puckered punch of sweetness.
3. VIDAL SOUR RAINBOW BELTS
Taking the third spot on my list is the Vidal Gummi Sour Rainbow Belts. Featuring the now iconic color scheme, they have an amazing taste and a perfect chewy texture. They’re also made with real fruit juice, which adds a hint of tartiness to each bite and dials down the acidity you get with lower quality sour candies.
2. Haribo Pasta Basta Sour Belts
Let’s face it, Haribo makes some of the best gummy candies ever, so it’s no surprise that their Pasta Basta Erdbeere Sour Belts would be on this list. Featuring a unique blend of fruit flavors, they’re sweet, sour and absolutely delicious, making them a must-have for fans of sour belts and candy in general.
1. SOUR POWER SOUR BELTS
Topping of my list of the best sour belt candies is the undisputed champion: Sour Power Sour Belts. These iconic candies have been a favorite for decades, and for good reason. Sour Power has perfected the art of balancing sourness with sweetness, creating a candy that offers an explosion of flavor that’s impossible to beat.
