Homemade Heart Shaped Gummies

I am always looking for healthy candy alternatives for my sweets loving toddler. I am not THAT mom that never gives my child candy or a treat, but I do try to limit it and want to give her some better options at times. I came across a homemade gummy recipe and thought this would be great to try as she LOVVEESSS gummy bears. When I went to buy a gummy bear mold on Amazon….side note….if I can buy it from Amazon, sometimes it doesn’t get bought. What did I ever do without Prime??? Back to my point…I saw a mold that came in a set with some heart molds and I immediately got excited about Valentine’s themed gummies.

They are literally so easy and so cute and immediately made me think of those cure Sugarfina gummies you can buy at gift stores. Scroll all the way to the bottom to see a really cute way to package them similar to that that are half the cost of those and much more healthy for your little ones. Or anyone really.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

gummy molds – I got it from Amazon HERE

RECIPE:

STEP 1: Fill a small bowl with 2-3 tablespoons of cold water.
STEP 2: Sprinkle in 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin and allow it to “bloom” for about 5 minutes.

STEP 3: Pour ½ cup of juice of your choice into a small saucepan.

STEP 4: Heat the juice on low heat and add honey and mix.
STEP 5: Add in the gelatin and stir until it is incorporated and dissolved completely. Remove from heat.

STEP 6: Use the dropper (it comes with the molds) and drop liquid into the molds.

STEP 7: Place the mold in the fridge to cool and solidify for at least an hour.

Now see how to turn these heart gummies into a sweet Valentine’s treat.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

clear boxes – get HERE
Scrapbook paper or cardstock – HERE is something similar to what I used
double stick tape
Paper Cutter

STEP 1: Assemble clear boxes and fill with gummies.

STEP 1: Cut your paper into 1” Strips. I had this heart paper left over from a birthday party I planned but you could use anything. Just a plain red or pink cardstock could be really cute.

STEP 2: Place double stick tape on one end of your strip of paper and place on the bottom of the box.

STEP 3: Fold and wrap it around the rest of the box and secure with another piece of double stick tape.

Doesn’t that look so profesh?? How would you package them? Comment below:
