These mini gummy bears are ready to eat straight from the bag. For decorating, they can be placed on frosted cakes, cookies, or cupcakes to add a colorful and playful element.

They can also be mixed with nuts, seeds, and other dried fruits to create a sweet and chewy trail mix for on-the-go enjoyment. Their small size makes them easy to handle and incorporate into many different applications.

How to keep the rest
