In diesem Artikel, we will uncover the wrapping paper and introduce you to the traditional formula, sugar free gummy bears, which are popular in the market, and frozen gummy bears, which are popular on TikTok.

The Core Anatomy: What’s Inside the Bear?

When people ask, “What are gummy bears made of?” they are usually looking for the “magic” ingredient. Historically, that magic is gelatin.

Derived from collagen, this is what gives gummies their signature “bounce.” It’s a protein that dissolves in hot water and sets into a jelly-like state as it cools.

Traditional bears use a mix of sucrose (table sugar) and glucose syrup. This combination prevents the sugar from crystallizing, keeping the bear smooth rather than crunchy.

This provides that slight “zing” that balances the sweetness.

Usually a blend of fruit concentrates and food-grade dyes.

The Modern Pivot: Sugar Free Gummy Bears

There is a lot of chatter on Reddit and Quora about sugar free gummy bears. Let’s address the elephant in the room: the infamous “laxative effect” associated with older sugar-free recipes.

Early versions used high amounts of Lycasin (maltitol syrup). While delicious, it didn’t play well with everyone’s digestive system. Heute, the industry has evolved. High-quality sugar free gummy bears now utilize better-tolerated sugar alcohols or stevia.

Why Everyone is Making Frozen Gummy Bears

If you’ve been on social media lately, you’ve likely seen the frozen gummy bears trend. It sounds simple—toss them in the freezer—but there’s a bit of “food science” happening here.

Why do people love frozen gummy bears?

The Texture Shift

Freezing changes the molecular structure of the gelatin. It becomes less “bouncy” und mehr “snappy.” It’s a completely different sensory experience.

A popular Reddit hack involves soaking the bears in vodka or prosecco before freezing. The alcohol prevents them from turning into literal ice cubes, resulting in a boozy, slushy treat.

Summer Demand

From a B2B perspective, we’ve seen a spike in gummy orders during summer months specifically driven by this DIY frozen snack trend.

Whisk your gelatin into the cold liquid. Let it sit for 5 Minuten. This is the step most people skip, but it’s vital for a smooth texture.

Melt the mixture over low heat. Do not let it boil! Boiling breaks down the protein chains in gelatin, and your bears won’t set.

Stir in your citric acid and any food coloring.

Pipe the liquid into silicone molds. For an extra “pop,” put them straight into the freezer to create a batch of frozen gummy bears ready for snacking.

The Ingenious Journey of Fudge

Understanding what are gummy bears made of is just the beginning. From the classic Q-bomb taste, to the sugar-free fudge that conforms to the healthy trend, and then to the creative frozen fudge, the reason why this snack can continue to be popular is its infinite inclusiveness and plasticity. To achieve this kind of production with both quality and scale, it is inseparable from the precise injection molding and temperature control guarantee of the Maschine zum Einlegen von Süßigkeiten, and it is also possible to realize modeling innovation and efficient output through the Produktionslinie für Gummibonbons, so that each soft candy carries flavor and ingenuity.
