Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (150g) gummy bears
- 2 cups (16 fl oz / 480 ml) fruit juice (orange, apple, grape, or tropical blend)
- 1/2 cup (4 fl oz / 120 ml) water
- 1 tablespoon (0.5 fl oz / 15 ml) lemon juice (optional)
- 1–2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of your chosen fruit juice with 1/2 cup water. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice and 1-2 teaspoons honey or agave syrup if using. Stir until well mixed.
- Place 4-5 gummy bears at the bottom of each popsicle mold cavity.
- Pour the juice mixture gently over the gummy bears, filling each mold to about 3/4 full, leaving space for expansion.
- Insert popsicle sticks into the molds, ensuring they stand upright. If molds don’t have sticks, cover with foil and poke sticks through the foil.
- Freeze the molds for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- To unmold, briefly run warm water over the outside of the mold for 10-15 seconds and gently pull the sticks to remove the popsicles.
Notes
Use smaller or softer gummy bears for best results. Diluting juice with water helps achieve a smoother freezing texture. Freeze on a flat surface and do not try to unmold before 4 hours. You can customize with different juices or sugar-free/vegan gummy bears. Running warm water over molds helps release popsicles easily.
