Kid-Friendly – A fun freezer snack everyone will love.
Customizable – Use your favorite gummy bear flavors or brands.
Perfect for Summer – Cool, sweet, and refreshing with every bite.
Ingredients You’ll Need
1 bag (about 8 oz) gummy bears – any flavor or variety
Optional: sour gummy bears, gummy worms, or sugar-free gummies
Tools You’ll Need
Baking sheet or plate
Parchment paper or wax paper
Freezer-safe container or zip-top bag
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Line a Tray
Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. This prevents the gummies from sticking to the surface while freezing.
Step 2: Arrange the Gummy Bears
Spread the gummy bears in a single layer on the tray.
Make sure they aren’t clumped together so they freeze evenly.
Step 3: Freeze the Gummy Bears
Place the tray in the freezer and freeze for at least 2–3 hours, or until the gummy bears are firm to the touch.
You can freeze them overnight for maximum chill.
Step 4: Transfer & Store
Once fully frozen, transfer the gummy bears to a freezer-safe zip-top bag or airtight container.
Store in the freezer for up to 1 month—if they last that long!
Step 5: Enjoy!
Pop them straight from the freezer for a chewy, icy treat.
No thawing needed—they’re meant to be enjoyed frozen.
Tips for the Best Frozen Gummy Bears
Use Quality Gummies – Higher-quality gummy bears have better texture after freezing.
Try Sour Versions – Sour gummy bears get extra crisp and tangy when frozen.
Don’t Overcrowd – Spread them out for even freezing and to avoid sticking.
Great for Adults Too – Freeze sugar-free or vitamin gummies for a cool snack alternative.
Keep Them Cold – Serve them right from the freezer to maintain their unique texture.
