Grape Fruit Juice Gummy Bears

So this week has been crazy. Something a teacher wouldn’t really say now that it’s summer. It should be time for relaxing and soaking in the sun. But when you are also a food blogger… you might thing that it is just making food and taking quick snaps before you dig in. But it is so much more than that. Especially when you just redesigned your website.

So yeah. I just moved my site from one platform to another. All by myself. With basically zero tech skills to speak of.

What happened? Well, almost NONE of my pages worked. A lot of my links pointed to pages that now don’t exist. 404 errors galore. And don’t get me started on the posts that I need to reformat.

Right now I am regretting not hiring someone to do this for me, but at the same time feeling kind of empowered at getting this far and not completely screwing everything up.

*knock on wood*

Since I knew this whole project would be stressful, I preemptively made these healthy gummy bears. Because having a snack where I won’t be guilty if I eat it all is what I need in times of stress. And in times of non stress. I mean, I really do love snacking.

Who knew making your own gummy bears was so easy? Did you? Someone should have told me! All those years of buying gummy bears laden with sugar, corn syrup and artificial ingredients I can’t even pronounce. I could have been making these: which are healthy enough to eat for breakfast! Move aside Sour Patch Kids. There is a new favorite gummy candy in town.

Variations

Switch up the juice flavors! This recipe is so versatile, you can make it with any juice you have on hand! I love it with apple juice, orange juice or any berry juices, but I have always wanted to try it with pink grapefruit juice or pomegranate juice.

Use a different sweetener. ​In place of the stevia, you can use maple syrup or whatever sweetener you want!
