How to Make Gummy Bears FAQs

How long do homemade gummy bears last?

Homemade gummy bears taste best fresh, but they can last up to 5 days if you store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry space.

Do homemade gummy bears need to be refrigerated?

You can leave your gummy bears at room temperature, but they will last longer if you pop them in the fridge. It’s best to store them in an airtight container to maximize their freshness.

How do you dry homemade gummy bears?

If your gummy bears end up feeling wet or sticky, you can try to dry them out a bit. Simply space them out on a clean surface and lightly dust cornstarch over them. You’ll probably need to do this a few times as the cornstarch soaks in. But don’t put too much on, or they will look white.
