My kids LOVE gummy bears and are always asking for them. I’ve tried the organic ones or “healthier” ones but they are still usually full of sugar or dyes. I am loving this recipe for homemade gummy bears with a hidden vegetable -and my kids are too! They are also much easier to make than I thought!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 1/4 cup carrot juice
- 3 Tbsp unflavored gelatin
- 2 tsp honey
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- silicone gummy bear mold
Directions
- Combine juices together in small saucepan over low/medium heat. Stir with whisk.
- Gradually whisk small amounts of gelatin into juice mixture, stirring continuously.
- Continue stirring over low/medium heat until the ingredients are well combined and the gelatin has melted into the mixture.
- Place gummy bear mold onto baking sheet. The baking sheet keeps the mold stable as you put it into the refrigerator.
- Use eyedropper to fill bears in mold making sure to fill each bear up to the top. Use dropper to pop any bubbles that may appear in bears.
- Place mold in refrigerator for one hour.
- Pop gummy bears out of mold and store in an airtight container. These need to be refrigerated.
What do you think? Will you give these homemade gummy bears with carrots a try?
Perfect timing for me for this recipe! I need to make some new gummies for my kiddos! Do you juice your own carrots or do you just buy carrot juice?
You can try both! I just got an awesome new blender that makes great juices!
I would definitely try these but maybe with another juice since my daughter doesn’t like the taste of carrots.
What a great idea this is. My grandson love gummy bears too and sometimes it’s difficult to get them to eat their veggies. They sound pretty easy to make.
This is awesome, I would definitely give them a try!
These are such a great idea! I am going to try this with my niece and nephew.
This is an amazing idea, I love gummy bears.
This is great. Someone commented their kids don’t like carrots, so assume they wouldn’t like the juice. There is carrot juice really sweet, my favorite is from Colmbia Gorge. WF used to carry it, and I can’t get it anymore, but you should try it, and try it in this recipe!
I love gummi bears. OK, I really didn’t just type that. This is such a great idea for the little ones. I love that it has all of those great, healthy ingredients.
Wow, what a clever idea! My kids would love these and they wouldn’t even know there are hidden veggies in them. Thank you for this!
Oh wow! I never thought to make my own. This recipe seems easy enough and sounds good!
I never thought about making homemade gummies, I am amazed by your recipe, and you can combine so many fruit and vegetable flavors now.

This is a great recipe for home-made gummy bears with a twist.
These are so so clever! And adorable! What a great way to make a treat food a little healthier!
I love gummy candy, and this is such a great way to make a healthier, guilt-free, version.
No kidding..this is great and not too difficult to make perhaps. I have to share with my sister, she will try this for sure
This is such a great idea to get kids to get their vegetables.
