Are DIY gummy bears vegan?

You can make healthy homemade gummies with vegan gelatin . I personally have not tested this myself, but in research, it appears that you can substitute it relatively easily in recipes. They are gluten-free and dairy-free!

How do you mold gummy bears?

I like these gummy bear molds . But you can find a wide variety of silicone molds online if you want different shapes. The key is to find small gummy molds and not a giant jello mold!

Can you make homemade gummy bears with alcohol?

I have not tested this recipe with alcohol, but you may be able to sub some of the juice with an adult beverage. Just be sure to label your storage container and keep it out of reach of the kids. ;)

Can you make your own gummy bears with jello mix?

Jello does contain gelatin, but it also contains a lot of sugar. Personally, I don’t want to add that much sugar since I’m opting for a healthier version of gummy bears. I’m also not sure that the texture of jello will be the same as traditional gummy bears.

Instructions

If you’re starting with whole fruit, make fruit puree by blending fruit in a blender. Then measure fruit puree into the larger measure cup/bowl first. Add honey if using.
Measure juice into a small saucepan and turn the heat on medium-low. Add the gelatin and whisk constantly. Bring the mixture to an almost simmer – you want it to be definitely warm, but not hot, to the touch – about 3 minutes. The liquid should be opaque or clear and the gelatin should be completely dissolved before proceeding.
Add the juice/gelatin mixture to the puree (if using) in the bowl/cup with the spout. Whisk to combine juice/gelatin with puree and/or honey, if using.
Place the mold on the baking sheet. Pour the mixture into the molds, but do not overfill them. Alternatively, pour the mixture into the 8×8 glass pan.
Place the entire baking sheet with the mold on top, or the 8×8 glass pan, in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Pull the gummies out from the freezer and pop them out of the molds. Store in a container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Have all of your supplies and ingredients ready to go before you begin. The recipe moves fast!
Taste the liquid before freezing. If it doesn’t taste good, the gummies won’t either when they’re done. Err on the side of too sweet rather than not sweet enough!
