When I was a super young kid, I remember going to the store occasionally, where my mom would rarely buy me these yogurt gummy candies as a treat. I absolutely loved them, they were delicious. However, they were discontinued or something like 20 years ago. There isn’t much I wouldn’t do to get more of them. I’d even make them myself if I could find a recipe.

I think the brand name was Campinos. IIRC they were mostly a hard candy brand, but those soft candies were a million times better than any other candy I could have had as a kid.

Edit: I just googled them since they were on my mind. It seems like they’re out of stock everywhere but here’s a product listing https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/campino-yogourt-gummies-120g/10192347

Whenever you can't find something esoteric, use Google Shopping. They index about a zillion different online retailers. If you can't find something there, you can't get it online.

Here's my first hit:

https://www.germanshop24.com/sweets/chewies-and-caramels/storck-campino-fruits-11.5-oz/?gad_source=4

Availability: In stock

EDIT: Note that the shipping is exorbitant, though. I'd guess that they're shipping from Germany.

Amazon has it for less from another European food importer:

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the ones you linked aren’t actually the same product as mine - those are hard candies and they don’t seem to have yogurt in them. The tip about google shopping is still valid though. I’ll have a look later.
