Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 100 percent fruit juice
  • 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions
 

  • Pour the fruit juice into a small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the surface.
  • Let the mixture sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
  • Place the saucepan over low heat and gently warm the mixture while stirring slowly.
  • Continue stirring until the gelatin fully dissolves and the liquid looks smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the honey until fully combined.
  • Carefully pour the mixture into silicone gummy bear molds, filling each cavity evenly.
  • Transfer the filled molds to the refrigerator.
  • Chill for at least 2 hours, or until the gummies are fully set.
  • Gently remove the gummy bears from the molds before serving or storing.
