• Sour gummy worms or gummy fruits
• Sugar-free gummy bears (for a lighter option)
• Vitamin gummy bears (for a healthier twist)
• Gummy candies with juice centers (for a frozen “burst” effect)

Tools You’ll Need

• Freezer-safe container or resealable plastic bag
• Parchment paper or silicone baking mat (optional for spreading)
• Baking sheet (if using a flat surface to freeze evenly)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Choose Your Gummies
Pick your favorite gummy bears or mix a variety for colorful, fruity fun.
You can use classic bears, worms, or shaped gummies—just make sure they’re soft and fresh.

Step 2: Prep for Freezing
Spread the gummy bears in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet or place them into a freezer-safe resealable bag or container.
Avoid stacking too much if you want them to freeze individually.

Step 3: Freeze Until Firm
Place the tray or bag in the freezer and freeze for at least 2–3 hours, or until the gummy bears are fully firm.
They won’t become rock hard but will be delightfully chewy and cold.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
Remove from the freezer and enjoy immediately!
Serve them in small bowls, mix into trail mix, or use as toppings for frozen yogurt or ice cream.

Tips for the Best Frozen Gummy Bears
Don’t Freeze in Clumps – Spread them out to avoid sticking.
Use Airtight Storage – Keeps gummies fresh and prevents freezer burn.
Label Your Bag – Especially if you’re storing different types like vitamin or sugar-free gummies.
Avoid Over-Freezing – While they can be stored long-term, for best texture enjoy within 1 week.
Use for Dessert Toppings – They make a fun addition to ice cream, frozen yogurt, or smoothie bowls.

Serving Suggestions
Party Snack – A cool treat for birthdays, pool parties, or BBQs.
Movie Night – Crunchy popcorn + frozen gummies = perfect combo.
Lunchbox Surprise – Pack in an insulated lunch for a mid-day snack.
Ice Cream Bar – Serve with other candy toppings for DIY sundaes.
Chill Trail Mix – Mix with chocolate chips, pretzels, and nuts.

How to Store & Keep Fresh

Storing:
Freezer: Store frozen gummy bears in an airtight container or zip-top freezer bag for up to 1 month.
Keep sealed to maintain texture and flavor.

Serving:
Serve straight from the freezer—no need to thaw.
If left out at room temperature, they will gradually soften back to their original state.
