Abstract: Provided is a soft candy having excellent shape retention and detachability, wherein the soft candy is made from a base composition containing a sugar, a glucide that inhibits crystallization of the sugar, and a thickener, wherein the base composition has a specific gravity of 1.00 to 1.25 g/cm3; and a ratio of the sugar to a total mass of the sugar and the glucide that inhibits crystallization of the sugar in the base composition is from 50 to 75 mass %, or among bubbles present in a cross section of a soft candy produced by shaping the base composition, a total area of bubbles having an area of 0.05 mm2 or greater is 80% or less relative to a total area of the bubbles.
