I’m obsessed with these mini gummy bears and the smell of them alone is enough for me inhale them in seconds. Not only are these homemade gummy bears sweetened and coloured with real fruit and raw honey but they have a healthy dose of grass fed gelatin, which is important for your overall health. If it makes you feel less guilty for eating gummy bears you can just say that you’re getting your dose of gelatin for the day. Adult gummy vitamins do exist! Haha

The best part about these homemade gummy bears is that you can adjust it to be any flavour or colour you want by switching up the fruit. I made a mango and strawberry version with lemon juice but you can do blackberry, cherry, you name it! I even think it would be fun to add lime next time instead of lemon juice.

Did I mention there’s hardly any clean up? Everything is made in a blender and small saucepan and no candy thermometers are needed because who actually has one of those anyways? I know I’m going to put my foot in my mouth next year when I eventually decide I need one.. oops!
