Homemade Fruit Juice Gummies

I know I have been sharing lots of yummy treats this summer like my Chocolate Dipped Bacon Pretzels and my Frozen Mango Lemonade, but today I am sharing something a little different.  Something that is perfect for any kids (or kids at heart).  Today I am working with Juicy Juice® to show you just how simple it really is to make Homemade Fruit Juice Gummies!  These are tasty and were a huge hit with my kids!  So keep reading to snag this recipe for yourself!

And I just love how pretty they are too!

My kids helped me make these and the actual prep process only took a few minutes but they did take a few hours to set completely so just be sure to allow enough time for these to set before eating!

To create these fruit juice gummies, I used Juicy Juice® as my base.  And because Juicy Juice® is made with 100% juice this makes a great base for a yummy snack that is sweet without needing to add additional sugar.

Did you know that 8 oz of Juicy Juice® 100% juice = 1 cup of fruit!  And there are 16 flavors of Juicy Juice® 100% juice available to choose from.

My children helped me measure the gelatin and juice for this recipe.  They also helped me stir.  I love finding ways to involve my children in the kitchen as much as possible and this is a great recipe to do that!

They could hardly wait until these were set and ready to eat!  They both enjoyed them!

It was a toss up though if they liked the Fruit Juice or Apple Juice Gummies best!
