What it is
These are small, fruit-flavored candies shaped like bears. They are made with gelatin, sugar, and corn syrup, giving them a chewy texture. The candies come in a variety of bright colors, each typically representing a different fruit flavor. This particular package contains a single serving size of the popular confection.
How people cook with it
Gummi bears are often enjoyed as a sweet treat on their own. They can also be incorporated into various dessert preparations.
- Snack on them directly
- Melt for candy coatings
- Decorate cakes and cookies
- Add to trail mix
To enjoy them as a snack, simply open the package and consume. If using them in a recipe, they can be melted down by gently heating them in a double boiler or microwave. Be careful not to overheat, as this can cause them to become too liquid or burn. Melted gummi bears can be used to create colorful drizzles for baked goods or as a base for homemade gummies. They can also be added to ice cream or yogurt for a chewy element.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining gummi bears fresh, ensure the package is sealed tightly after opening. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid exposing them to heat, as this can cause them to melt and stick together, altering their texture.
