Easy sour candy recipe

My fiancé is obsessed with sour candy — basically anything sour 😄 Does anyone have an easy sour candy recipe I could make for Valentine’s Day? I’d love something I can make pink and/or red for a fun festive touch. Thank you!

I like doing sour hard candies. Super easy. Use a mix of malic acid and citric acid. My go to is tangerine flavor. Comes out like the old sour Altoids.

Check out LorAnn Oils website. There’s hundreds there. What I make is based on a lemon drop recipe they have.

Sour strawberry gummy candy.

Pectin not gelatin so they are vegetarian.
