February 15. National Gumdrop day.

Gumdrops are a type of bright colored gelatin-based candy that are coated with sugar. They are usually used to decorate cakes and gingerbread houses during Christmas time.

My husband got these and actually got spice drops. They are just like the regular gumdrops but instead of the fuitty flavors like orange, grape, lime, lemon, and cherry, they have a sharper and a little spicy flavor. They usually have cinnamon, cardamom, and mint in them. 

I should probably hide these from the kids, but believe it or not, 

my 4-yr old and 23-month old can handle a little spiciness sometimes. They actually ate a whole bag of spicy chips by themselves earlier today.
