Homemade fruit snacks – a healthier treat this Halloween! #Recipe!!

Homemade fruit snacks with just 2 ingredients!!

A healthier alternative for your kids this Halloween!

You read that right – YOU can make your own fruit snacks for your kids AT HOME!!  It took me less than 20 minutes to complete, put it is in the fridge to set for a couple hours and just like that we had a delicious snack that little Gradie can’t get enough of and we don’t have to stress about the amount of icky stuff she is eating (have you seen the ingredients list on fruit snacks lately?!)

Ingredients;

• 1.5 cups of Juicy Juice 100% Juice (any flavor)
• 4 tablespoons of plain gelatin

Directions:

1. Pour the juice into a small pot.  Gently add in the gelatin powder and allow it to absorb for a few minutes.
2. Once the gelatin has absorbed, whisk the mixture gently.
3. Turn on your stove to medium heat, getting the mixture warm but never boiling.  Wait until the mixture changes from thick to runny and all of the gelatin has dissolved.
4. Once ready, pour the mixture into a shallow loaf pan and refrigerate for four hours – we put tin foil into the bottom of the loaf pan to make removing it easier.
5. Remove from pan and cut the gelatin into bite-sized pieces.

NOTE – these fruit snacks can keep in the fridge for up to two weeks, but we all know our kids will eat them long before that!! 

ANOTHER NOTE – Juicy Juice recently has a brand make over, new logo and new products, including Juicy Juice Splashers, a 50/50 blend of filtered water and fruit juice in a pouch, which have 50% less sugar than the leading juice and added four new flavors to its line of kid-favorite 100% juices, including Strawberry Watermelon, Passion Dragonfruit, Peach Apple and Cranberry Apple.  

What does this mean – well besides the obvious that these new juices are even better for your kids?!  It means you can make these delicious homemade fruit snacks even better for your kids when you use Juicy Juice Splashers to make them, and the kids will love the new flavors, I just know that this will be a big hit this halloween!!
