Frozen Sprite Gummy Bears Recipe 🌈🧊

🐻 Ingredients

Gummy Bears (Any brand you prefer!)
Sprite (Or your favorite clear lemon-lime soda)

🥣 Supplies

Flat Dish or Container (Must hold bears in a single layer)
Parchment Paper
Baking Sheet
Airtight Container (for freezer storage)

➡️ Instructions

Prep the Bears: Arrange the gummy bears in a single layer on a flat dish. Ensure they are not touching each other. 🐻
Soak ‘Em Up: Pour Sprite over the gummy bears until they are completely submerged.
Chill Out: Refrigerate the dish overnight (or for at least 8 hours). This allows the gummy bears to fully absorb the liquid. ⏰
Prepare to Freeze: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully remove the expanded gummy bears from the remaining Sprite and place them on the parchment paper, making sure they are not touching again. 🧊
Freeze Solid: Pop the baking sheet into the freezer for 2 to 3 hours, or until the gummy bears are completely frozen and firm.
Enjoy & Store: Once frozen, transfer the bears to an airtight container and store them in the freezer until ready to serve!

Variations & Flavor Combos 🌈

The magic of this recipe is how easily you can swap out ingredients to create endless flavor combinations!

Experiment with different sodas and candy types for a new treat every time.

Soda Swaps

For a Fruity Twist: Swap Sprite for Fanta, Mountain Dew, or even Grape Soda to complement the gummy flavors.
For a Less Sweet Option: Use Sparkling Water flavored with lime or lemon, or use Sprite Zero to significantly cut down on the sugar content.

Candy Alternatives

Gummy Worms: These work just as well as bears! Their long shape can be fun to use in drinks.
Sour Candies: If you enjoy a tart flavor, use Sour Patch Kids or similar candies. The frozen texture is a bit different than gummy bears, but the sour flavor can be a fun alternative.

Storage & Troubleshooting Tips 🧊

To ensure you get the best texture and avoid a sticky mess, follow these simple tips for chilling, freezing, and storing your Gummy Bears:

Preventing Stickiness: The most important step is ensuring the gummy bears are not touching during the refrigeration and freezing steps. If they touch, they will freeze into a giant clump.
Refrigeration Time: Don’t skip the overnight soak in the refrigerator. This allows the gummy bears to fully absorb the soda’s flavor and liquid, giving them that wonderful expanded and juicy texture.
Freezer Life: Once they are fully frozen (after a few hours on the parchment paper), transfer them to a sealed, airtight container or freezer-safe bag. They can last for several weeks in the freezer.
