Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Frozen Gummy Bears:
1 bag gummy bears (any brand or flavor you love)

Optional Add-ins:
Gummy worms, gummy rings, or sour gummies for variety
Small resealable bags or containers for portioning

Tools You’ll Need

Baking sheet or tray
Parchment paper
Freezer-safe airtight container or resealable plastic bags

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Gummy Bears
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the gummy bears out in a single layer, making sure they don’t touch each other.
This prevents them from sticking together as they freeze.

Step 2: Freeze
Place the tray in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours, or until the gummy bears are fully frozen.
For best results, let them freeze overnight.

Step 3: Store
Once frozen, transfer the gummy bears into a freezer-safe airtight container or resealable plastic bags.
Keep them stored in the freezer until ready to enjoy.

Step 4: Serve
Eat them straight from the freezer for a fun, chewy treat!
You can also sprinkle them over ice cream, yogurt bowls, or smoothie bowls for an extra burst of fruity flavor and texture.

Tips for Perfect Frozen Gummy Bears
Use Fresh Gummies – Fresh gummy bears freeze better and taste chewier once frozen.
Freeze in Single Layers – Spread them out initially to avoid clumping.
Don’t Leave Out Too Long – Frozen gummy bears can become sticky if left at room temperature for too long.
Experiment – Try different types of gummies like sour, fruity, or even vitamin gummies for a fun twist.

Serving Suggestions
Serve as a movie night snack alongside popcorn and chocolate.
Toss into homemade trail mix for a fruity, chewy surprise.
Use as a topping for froyo, ice cream, or smoothie bowls for added fun.
Decorate cakes, cupcakes, or desserts for a colorful, playful look.

How to Store

Storing:
Keep frozen gummy bears in a freezer-safe container or bag for up to 2 months.
Take out small portions as needed to enjoy.
