Last month, we brought you the fiery news that Skittles Gummies Fuego would be dropping first on the TikTok shop (where it seems to have sold out) before dropping next year in stores (although my good friend Emily from Grocery Obsessed has spotted them at HEB already). While I did not have an opportunity to try last year’s GoPuff exclusive Skittles Fuego, I do have the distinct honor of previewing the gummy version as Skittles has very generously sent over a bag for us to review. Without further ado, let’s dive into Skittles Gummies Fuego and find out if these should be on your hunt list for 2026!
Pros: I’ve got to give Skittles credit, these pack more heat than I was expecting. They deliver a very satisfying sweet and spicy (swicy) experience. There are familiar Skittles flavors that taste just like their respective Skittles candy counterparts. I wasn’t sure if I’d like this candy at all and I’m now stopping myself from eating the entire bag in one sitting.
Cons: While I do enjoy the heat it took a little bit of getting used to. The gummies are coated with a chili-lime powder that hit in a way that I wasn’t expecting and it took me several bites to adjust. Additionally, why are Skittles Fuego only hitting shelves in Skittles Gummies form? Having tried these now, I’d love to give the “Original” Skittles Fuego a go.
Verdict: If you’re a “swicy” fan these are a must try. They are the perfect marriage of Skittles and gummy candy and spice all in one package.
