When I was pregnant with my daughter I craved ALL the gummy bears! I seriously could not get enough of them.

However I knew all the extra sugar wasn’t good for me so I wanted to find a way to make a healthier version of my favorite snack.

After a few tests, these gummy bears were created! Using only 3 ingredients you can easily make your own gummy bears at home for a fraction of the calories (and price!).

Equipment Needed

• Sauce pan
• Gummy bear molds (with dropper)

Ingredients

• 1 packet Sugar-Free Jell-O (any flavor)
• 2 packets unflavored gelatin mix packets
• 1/3 cup water

How to Make Homemade Gummy Bears

In a medium sauce pan, add water and then mix in the jello and gelatin. Set heat to medium and gently mix until the jello and gelatin are dissolved.

Using a dropper, put mix evenly into the molds.

Allow to cool in the refrigerator for 30-40 minutes until the molds are set.

How to Store Leftovers

Leftover gummy bears (if there are any!) should be stored in an airtight container in the refigerator for up to 5 days.

I do not recommend freezing gummy bears.

Recipe Tips and Variations

This recipe can also be made with regular Jell-O at a 1:1 ratio

Mix together different Jell-O flavors to create unique combinations

To make sour gummy bears, add in a little (1/4 tsp) citric acid

Use different molds to make fun shapes! I like these fun zoo animals and dinosaur molds.
