When I was a super young kid, I remember going to the store occasionally, where my mom would rarely buy me these yogurt gummy candies as a treat. I absolutely loved them, they were delicious. However, they were discontinued or something like 20 years ago. There isn’t much I wouldn’t do to get more of them. I’d even make them myself if I could find a recipe.
I think the brand name was Campinos. IIRC they were mostly a hard candy brand, but those soft candies were a million times better than any other candy I could have had as a kid.
Are those the ones with little fruit gummy balls coated in yogurt?
Nope, they were regular gummy candy but with yogurt mixed in to the molten candy mixture before it set (I think). They were kinda similar to the white stuff on the bottom of the blue whale gummy candies but not quite.
On that note, I also remember yogurt coated skittles were a thing and they were also very good, but I think those were also discontinued. Those are probably more like what you’re thinking of.
out of stock everywhere
Whenever you can't find something esoteric, use Google Shopping. They index about a zillion different online retailers. If you can't find something there, you can't get it online.
Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately the ones you linked aren’t actually the same product as mine - those are hard candies and they don’t seem to have yogurt in them. The tip about google shopping is still valid though. I’ll have a look later.
I feel like we in the Netherlands have something that's exactly what you described. Katja Yoghurtgums

Edit: I just googled them since they were on my mind. It seems like they’re out of stock everywhere but here’s a product listing https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/campino-yogourt-gummies-120g/10192347

Here's my first hit:

EDIT: Note that the shipping is exorbitant, though. I'd guess that they're shipping from Germany.
Amazon has it for less from another European food importer:
