Who knew it was so simple and quick to make one of the most beloved, nostalgic treats out there? Gummy bears might have been your favorite as a child, and now they’ll be your favorite again with this quick and easy recipe.
| Level: | Easy |
| Total: | 45 min |
| Active: | 15 min |
| Yield: | 100 gummy bears |
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fruit juice, such as cranberry, grape, orange or lemonade
- 2 tablespoons unflavored powdered gelatin
- 2 tablespoons sugar
Instructions
- Combine the fruit juice or lemonade, gelatin and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the gelatin and sugar dissolve completely, about 1 minute (make sure there is no undissolved sugar stuck to the bottom of the saucepan). If any foam forms while stirring, skim it off and discard. Transfer the mixture to a small liquid measuring cup.
- Put the gummy bear molds on a flat surface and slowly fill each cup to the top. Give each mold a small shake to ensure the mixture settles to the bottom. Refrigerate until the mixture sets, about 10 minutes. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

How does 1/2 juice make 100 gummies???
made lean gummies gone wrong tasted mid maybe more lean would help tbh.
Did not come out very well
It smells like poop, like actual poop. Spare yourself and do not make these
Honestly, they just taste like gelatin. Not flavored Jello. Just gelatin powder.
I made fizzy gummy molds with Izze instead. Works just as good!
I found the texture okay, but the flavor very weak, so I began boiling down the fruit juice, letting it cool a bit, and then beginning this process. I enjoyed the texture, but brands like haribo have always tasted stale to me. This was perfect!
The texture is more like a jelly
The texture on these are off. They feel more like jello than a true gummy bear. I’ll play with the recipe a little and see if I can’t hone in on how to fix it.
