Homemade Gummies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

My kids have always liked those cute little character shaped fruit snacks you can buy in the grocery, and frequently I would purchase them, mostly because they were either dinosaur shaped or a beloved cartoon movie character.

Homemade gummies2However, they can be made so easily at home with only three ingredients!

Homemade gummiesHere is what you need:
3 ounce package of fruit flavored jello (regular not sugar free)
One 1/4 ounce package of unflavored gelatine
1/3 cup fruit juice or water

Homemade gummies5Grease your molds, or a small loaf pan (7 3/8" x 3 5/8" x 2" ) to cut into squares. You can use oil and a paper towel, or cooking spray.

Homemade gummies3Put all three ingredients in a sauce pan on low heat, and bring to a low boil for 10 minutes, stirring so that it won't stick.

Homemade gummies6Then fill up your molds OR your small loaf pan (my pictures show two batches). One batch will make around 12-14 one inch square servings.

Homemade gummies7Put in the refrigerator to cool for AT LEAST one hour or longer, till they're completely set, and then either cut into squares or release them from the molds, and serve.

Homemade gummies8These lasted no time at all at my house, and even us grownups enjoyed them!

Homemade gummies9Find some cute molds that your kids will love, and try them for yourself!  🙂

Homemade gummies92Because these tend to be small (and a possible choking hazard), don't serve to young children.
I also used these adorable lego molds with chocolate for Valentine's Day.  🙂
