This recipe is in honor of my beautiful and wonderfully supportive mother. She absolutely loves gummy candy, and her favorite is gummy bears. Basically my mom eats Paleo Plus Gummy Bears. (There’s a diet book idea!!)
My mom has also been growing our her hair, so she’s been trying to get more gelatin and collagen into her diet. This recipe is perfect for her because it’s her favorite candy made with gelatin; these are basically gummy bears that make your hair grow!
Feel free to use whatever fruit juice you like for these. My family enjoys the lemon juice, but orange juice, any berry juice, or elderberry juice would be great too. You can decrease the honey if you use a sweeter juice.

Does this work with any Gelatin?
Any unflavored gelatin should work.
Are these measurements correct please, as i added 2 tablespoons of great lakes gelatin to 2 2 tablespoons of water and it instantly turned into a lumpy mess….. im confused
That’s supposed to happen; then you whisk that into the rest of the ingredients.
