Sour fizzy Volcanoes are a sweet and tangy candy, often in a gummy or jelly form, that deliver a burst of sour flavour and sometimes a fizzy sensation, resembling an erupting volcano. Common ingredients include glucose syrup, sugar, gelatin, and acids like citric and malic acid for the sourness, plus flavourings and fruit/vegetable concentrates for taste. Some varieties may have a fizzy filling or a fizzy outer coating, while others offer an intense flavour experience.
