A soft candy is provided, which is less sticky to teeth, and has a light and rich eating texture and a sufficient chewability. A production method for the soft candy is also provided. The soft candy is produced by stretching a candy dough (12) containing 0.2 to 5 wt% of pullulan and 0.2 to 2 wt% of gelatin by an arm (10) of a pulling machine (3), and folding the stretched candy dough (12) by a rotary force of an arm (11) with an intermediate portion of the stretched candy dough (12) held by the arm (11). The stretching and folding step is repeatedly performed, whereby the candy dough (12) is impregnated with gas bubbles to reduce the specific gravity of the candy dough (12) to not greater than 1.2.
