Main Ingredients
- 1 package gummy bears (about 6 oz)
- 1 can Sprite or other clear carbonated drink (12 oz)
Instructions
- Prepare the gummy bears: Place your gummy bears in an airtight container, spreading them out in a single layer if you want them to retain a nice, pristine shape.
- Soak in Sprite: Carefully pour the can of Sprite over the gummy bears, making sure they are completely covered. Seal the container with the lid, then place it in the refrigerator overnight to allow the bears to absorb the liquid and swell.
- Check the bears: The next day, the gummy bears will have roughly doubled in size and become quite soft due to absorbing the Sprite.
- Freeze the bears: Use a scoop or spoon to remove the swollen bears from the Sprite and place them in a single layer on a parchment-paper-lined plate or tray. Place the tray in the freezer for about 3 hours or until the gummy bears are firm and frozen.
- Enjoy: Once frozen, the gummy bears are ready to be served as a cool, chewy frozen treat.
Notes
- Use only clear carbonated drinks like Sprite or 7-Up to maintain the gummy bears’ color and flavor.
- Be sure to spread the gummy bears in a single layer during soaking and freezing to prevent them from sticking together.
- The soaking time should be at least overnight for the bears to properly expand and soften.
- Frozen gummy bears are best enjoyed immediately after freezing for the best texture.
- This method is a fun way to change the texture of gummy candies but is not intended for consumption by very young children due to choking hazards.
