Tiktok Frozen Gummy Bears · i am a food blog

TikTok food trends are back with viral frozen gummy bears.

People love gummy bears. People like crunchy things. How about some crunchy gummy bears? All you really need is time and two ingredients: a sprite and gummy bears. When frozen, they are a combination of hard and soft with a frozen candy texture. They’re pretty fun and quirky and I think they’re adorable because the gummy bears double in size.

What are frozen bears?

Exactly what they look like! Frozen gummy bears. They appeared on my For You page on TikTok, so I’m not sure who invented them, because I’ve seen literally hundreds of people create and analyze them for AMSR videos. They don’t really look crunchy – they’re more of an icy chew. Anyway, they looked fun and cute and the gummy bears are delicious.

What do frozen bears taste like?

They taste just like regular gummy bears, but with a different texture. Crispy, cold and creamy. A little hard and soft at the same time. If you’ve ever eaten gummy candies left out cold, the texture is somewhat similar, but a little softer because of the soaking of the Sprite. They are both fluffier and softer. You would think they would be hard, but they don’t come out like ice cubes, but rather a cold, soft crunch, like nugget ice cream. Due to the sugar and gelatin content of the bears, they stay rather soft, which is nice because that’s what gives the bears their soft, icy texture. As you chew, the frozen bears begin to melt in your mouth. I like them!

How to Make Frozen Gummy Bears

1. Layout your gummy bears in a shallow container with a lid. You can do them in neat little rows or just spread them out, as long as they are in one layer you’re fine.
2. Pour Sprite (or your choice of soda) on top of the bears, making sure they are completely submerged. Cover the container and place it in the refrigerator overnight.
3. The day after your bears will double in size. Drain them and arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Freeze for 3 hours or until firm and frozen.
4. Appreciate the frozen crunch!

Frozen Gummy Bear Ingredients:

• gummy bears – everyone knows that premium gummy bears are Haribo. I dream of one day going to Germany to visit a Hairbo factory. My favorites are twin cherries. Either way, any bear will do, buy your favorite gummies.
• Elf – you obviously don’t need to use Sprite, any clear soda will do, so choose your favorite. I think maybe the frozen bear trend came from Japan and originally they used Mitsuya cider, which is a sort of citrus cream soda.

What other gummies can I freeze?

Any one really! I saw frozen peach slices, bottles of cola, children with sour patches. This will work on any kind of chewy, soft, gummy candy.

What other sodas can I use?

Again, any soda will do. The soda is for carbonation and liquid absorbed by the gummy bears, so choose a soda you like. I’m pretty sure the main choice is Sprite/7Up because they are clear so the gummy bears stay the same color.

Best Gummy Bear Brands

Personally, I love Haribo Golden BearThis is what we used in this article. Haribo invented gummy bears in 1922 and they are the original and the best! They are a little firmer than most gummy bears and I think they have the most savory flavor and chew. I also love how pretty and pastel they turn out after freezing them. Mike has a weakness for the Albanese Fruit Bears https://amzn.to/3C9gy4h which are very good too. They are a bit softer than golden bears, which is not for me, but I admit they are very soft and chewy and have elite flavors like Fuji apple, Asian pear and the Alphonso mango.

Another bear I want to try, but can’t vouch for, are the Black Forest Gummy Bears https://amzn.to/3YB9uVA. They have a different gummy bear shape that would be fun to see frozen. I heard they taste really good and are great to chew.

That’s it! It’s a quick and fun little treat – if you skip the soaking and freezing overnight – and I think it’s worth a try. The holiday season is approaching and a bowl of frozen gummy bears in seasonal colors is a cute conversation starter.

Happy freezing!
