Ingredients
Basic Version:
-
1 bag (about 5 oz or more) gummy bears (use your favorite brand or flavor)
Optional Variations:
-
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)
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.
Notes
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.
