When I was a kid my uncle got these little gelatin bites with fruit in them from New Jersey. They were in little plastic cups and came in a clear plastic tub. They were really chewy and delicious. I believe they were discontinued but maybe he just never went to NJ again. Anyone know?
It sounds like a candy called Applets and Cotlets. They used to come in tubs bulk but now they are in a traditional candy box with pictures of them. One of my favorite candies and they are available in most grocery stores.
