Are these actually hard candy?. I have found Gingins in a health food store but they are chewy, like a soft toffee and quite difficult to open.

They are hard candies. You suck on them until they dissolve. They don't get soft or chewy.

Ginger comes ikn several forms. I prefer the chewy ginger for digestion, Ginger Altoids for taste, and the hard candy least of all. Not much ginger in the hard candy. For severe digestive problems or nausea I take ginger capsules that I get from the health food store. Hope4 this helps1 Bobbie Graham

Hard candies - my mom loves these and the candy dissolves slowly. I've tried them and agree with my mom.

Yes, these are actually a hard candy. They work great and I like them better than the chewy gin gins.

The are really soft and chewy. My kids, 4 and 2, both love them. They're a great healthy snack for the entire family! Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

The cookies are individually slotted into a plastic form because they are soft, maybe silver dollar or smaller, but thick. They have that plastic package around the form, which does not reseal. My daughter loves every flavour and I have never had her say they were hard or stale after the package was opened.

Hard candy kinda ... as long as its completely crushed up ... as close to sugar as possible. generic hard candy works pretty well, Jolly rancher kinda ok... gummy HECK NO!!!! Make sense?

I still have some left over from last year in an air tight container and they're still as fresh as the day I bought them, still crunchy. So it depends on how and where you store them. They are composed entirely of sugar which is effected by moisture and air. So its up to you on the shelf life. Put them in an open bowl in an even remotely moist environment and they wont last a week. Unless you like them without the crunch and soft.

I find them to be very chewable. If you have trouble chewing things, just let them melt in your mouth. They remind me of a caramel. I actually like the chocolate ones, but my dtr loves the caramel. Its like having a little dessert. :)

They are semi-hard, not too hard and not too soft like gummies. They have a delicious chew, give them a try you won't regret it.

They are hard, not soft. My daughters both chewed on the soft ones and made extra holes, so these worked better for them.

They have a terrible shelf life. Recommended to consume soon after opening to retain texture, and they are not kidding. Tried to open a few and slowly eat out of them over a few weeks for variety and they made a big lump in the can, like fused and smelling funny. So, bonus, they aren't lying about how natural this is!

I think they are hard and not a great flavor. Necco wafers and valentine hearts are better tasting. That is what I would expect. This is pure novelty and not candy to be savored.

I had the same issue with my last order. When I ran out, there was not time to order from Amazon, as we were going away. I bought some from my vet. They were nice and soft, like they used to be. Perhaps Amazon should reconsider their supplier or keep fewer in stock, so they do not become hard and stale.

They are hard. A little harder than a dentistick. My dogs loves them. But they are only 8 & 4

I wasn't sure myself so I timed it. If you put one on your tongue and actively suck on it, one will last about 4 minutes. If you just tuck one into your cheek and leave it there, it will last about 20 minutes. While doing either, it crumbles a bit and softens considerably. These are not like any other type of hard candy I have ever tried. I have tried, and enjoyed, both the lemon and the mint. The lemon is mild and reminds me of lemon creme. I was glad to find these because I take medications that cause chronic dry mouth, and the sweetener doesn't irritate my stomach.

They were not soft. They were more like hard raisins. I used them in my smoothies so it didn't make a difference to me.

They are - for the most part - chewy, but since there are whole nuts, there is a bit of "crunchy" as well. In short, this is a moist bar, with no fillers (wheat, flour, etc.), so it is not "hard' like a typical granola bar.

They are both - probably more chewy than crunchy. If you get them FRESH they are crunchier. If you have issues with sticky sweetness, you may want to take a pass on these. The fresher they are, the less they seem sticky sweet. Hope that helps!

These are hard candies. If you don't get them wet, it should be a long, long time. Over a year.
