Frozen Sprite Gummy Bears (Viral Freezer Candy)

I love doing fun food experiments with my kids! If you do too, you definitely have to try making these. These Frozen Sprite Gummy Bears are chewy, icy, sweet, and seriously addictive. The secret is soaking the gummy bears in Sprite before freezing them, they become bigger, softer, and packed with flavor inside.

Helpful Tips & Secrets for Frozen Sprite Gummy Bears

• Mini gummy bears work especially well because they absorb the Sprite faster.
• Overnight soaking gives the best flavor and texture.
• Patting them dry before freezing makes a huge difference.
• You can also try this with Fanta, Dr Pepper, or other sodas for different flavors.
• For a fun summer presentation, serve them in a cold glass with extra Sprite poured on top.

Prep Time

• 5 minutes prep
• 4–12 hours chilling/freezing

Ingredients

• 1 bag gummy bears
• 1 can Sprite

Step 1 — Soak the Gummy Bears

Add the gummy bears to a bowl and pour Sprite over the top until fully covered.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. During this time, the gummy bears absorb the soda and become extra juicy and flavorful.

Step 2 — Dry the Gummy Bears

After soaking, drain the gummy bears and gently pat them dry with paper towels.

This is an important little trick because it helps prevent too much ice from forming around the candies.

Step 3 — Freeze

Place the gummy bears onto a tray or plate lined with parchment paper. Try to keep each gummy bear separate so they do not freeze together into one big clump.

Transfer to the freezer and freeze until firm.

Step 4 — Serve

For the best texture, let the gummy bears sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating. This makes them perfectly chewy instead of too hard.
