Ingredients
  

  • 1 package gummy bears (about 6 oz)
  • 1 can clear carbonated drink (like Sprite or 7Up)

Equipment

  • Airtight container with a lid
  • Parchment paper
  • Plate or baking tray

Method
 

  1. First, place your gummy bears in an airtight container. For the best shapes and to prevent them from sticking together, spread them out in a single layer at the bottom of the container.
  2. Carefully pour your chosen clear carbonated drink over the gummy bears. Ensure the soda completely submerges all the candies. This step is crucial for them to absorb the liquid and expand properly.
  3. Place the lid on your container. Transfer it to the refrigerator and let the gummy bears soak overnight, or for at least 12-24 hours. During this time, the bears will plump up significantly, doubling in size and becoming quite soft.
  4. The next day, gently scoop the enlarged bears out of the soda. Place them in a single layer on a plate or baking tray that you have lined with parchment paper. This separation is key to avoid them clumping together when frozen.
  5. Transfer the tray to your freezer. Allow the gummy bears to freeze for approximately 3 hours, or until they are completely firm. The exact time may vary slightly depending on your freezer's temperature.
  6. Once fully frozen, your unique TikTok frozen gummy bears are ready to enjoy! Savor their delightful, icy, and chewy texture.

Notes

For optimal results, ensure your gummy bears are fully submerged in the soda for maximum expansion. Arrange the bears in a single layer on parchment paper before freezing to prevent them from sticking together. Patience is key; allow adequate time for both refrigeration (12-24 hours) and freezing (around 3 hours).
Avoid using opaque sodas, as they can alter the vibrant color of your gummy bears. Insufficient soaking time will lead to a less satisfying texture. If making a large batch, use multiple trays to ensure even freezing.
Enjoy these treats straight from the freezer. If allowed to thaw, their unique icy and chewy texture will change significantly. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
Experiment with different candy types like peach rings or sour worms. You can also try matching soda flavors to gummy bear flavors for an intensified taste, or use fruit juices for a less sugary option.
