Homemade Fruit Snacks

I find a lot of amazing things on Pinterest and sometimes I actually get around to trying some of them. This is one of those lucky pins that actually became a reality.  

Here's the original pin that inspired me, thanks to Six Sisters' Stuff.  Elyse writes that they're the same texture as actual fruit snacks but I have to disagree.  The ones that I made (and I followed the same recipe) turned out to be like a Jello Jiggler - just a bit more firm.  They were still delicious though, and the fact that they don't need to be refrigerated makes them that much more appealing! 

Here's what you'll need: 
  • 1 box of jello powder
  • 2 envelopes of gelatin 
  • 1/3 cup water
  • ice cube molds
 

 Combine jello powder, gelatin and water in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat and stir until everything is dissolved (you can't see the powder anymore).

 

Pour into ice cube molds.  I used these cute shaped silicon ones from IKEA.  The silicon make them a lot easier to get out of the molds once they're set too.


Let them set for about 20 minutes and then peel out of the molds and pop 'em in your pie hole.  YUM! 



Enjoy!  This recipe made about 24 individual fruit snacks.
