Ingredients
Method
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.
Notes
Helpful Tips & Secrets
- 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.
