- customizable gummies: can be made using any leftover veggies and fruits, making it a fun end-of-the-week project to enjoy with the kids. You can use any juice mix you enjoy drinking as the base for these gummies.
- Intense Flavor and Firm Texture: After extensive testing, I've discovered the perfect ratio for homemade gummy bears, yielding a more intense flavor and firmer texture.
