Gelatin is a stretchy, chewy, flavourless food substance made from various animal parts (usually pig). It is used in sweets and medicine to give them that chewy texture. Haribo sweets use gelatin to add chewiness to their sweets.
Not usually, no; because gelatin is often made from non-kosher animals. You need to see if the sweets are kosher. Look for a symbol that is a capital K or capital U with a circle around it. There is kosher gelatin, for Jewish people who keep kosher. This gelatin is made from kosher beef or from vegetable-sources. There is also agar, which is made from seaweed, which can be used in the exact same recipes as gelatin.

There is pork gelatin (the most common) and bovine gelatin (less common, but still used). There is also something sold as "vegetarian gelatin", which is really nothing at all to do with gelatin, but it can be used to set foodstuffs in a similar way - it's also called "agar agar", or "agar gel".
