A great addition to your Valentine or Galentine celebration! My Pink Champagne Gummy Bears recipe is so easy to make and is a fun, new way to toast the ones you love. And they taste EXACTLY like Sparkling Rose!
Soooooo….we’re finally going to get some snow and my Valentine segment on Fox for the morning is postponed or cancelled or something. But whatever, it’s safer to stay home than to try and endure the rush hour traffic in the midst of a snow storm. It’s kind of a bummer because I have a ton of fun stuff I wanted to share with the viewers….and all of you, so if you subscribe to my newsletter be sure to watch your inbox for the fun treats this weekend. I’ll be posting on overdrive to get all the goodies out to the masses so you have time to make them before cupid arrives. In the meantime….I have discovered Amazon Subscribe and Save. (Note, this is not an advertisement…I’m just totally addicted.) Did you know that you can order, basically, anything on Amazon and have it delivered on a schedule? I didn’t know this so I’ve spent all day watching the weather forecast and setting up an order for just about anything I use on a daily basis like paper towels….I don’t think there’s anyone on the planet that goes through as many paper towels as we do here. It’s, actually, quite embarrassing.
And just in time for Valentine’s Day! I’m so romantic…I know. My poor husband will be gifted a bulk shipment of household cleaning products, toilet paper and cat litter next week. He’ll be so excited. But I will also be sure to make him a nice dinner of Pan Roasted Filet…his favorite, truffle potatoes au gratin and a glass of bubbly topped off with some of these super fun Pink Champagne Gummy Bears.
I bought a small box of Champagne Gummy Bears around the holidays to give my daughter as a gift…but I had to taste test them to make sure they were gift-worthy. They were and I ate the entire box. So, I went back to the store and….guess what…they were sold out. EVERYWHERE. She doesn’t know any of this so please keep this secret between us. :-). That gave me the idea to try and make them myself….so I did….and they’re SO EASY! Ha! I will save so much money now! They’re literally just three ingredients…gelatin, water and champagne. So..really just two ingredients because water doesn’t even count as an ingredient…does it??? They set up pretty quickly but I left them to chill overnight just to be sure.
And I found some really cute gummy bear molds on Amazon…before I discovered Subscribe and Save. They’re inexpensive and I know I’ll be using them to make healthy gummies for the little guy. These Pink Champagne Gummy Bears would be a fun addition to this Pink Champagne Cake for the holiday…or Easter…or a birthday. Or a snow day. 🙂

What kind of gelatin do I use? Any?
I like to use Knox brand gelatin.
Could we use an additional 1/4 c of champagne in place of the water to bloom the gelatin? Also how do these hold up at room temp once they’re set?
You can definitely do that with the extra Champagne. And they do hold up at room temperature but I recommend storing them in the refrigerator longer term.
How long would you say these last??
A couple weeks…..but you’ll eat them before that time.
The final result is a gummy with the consistency of a gummy bear or more like a gummy with the consistency of jell-o?
It will be the consistency of a true gummy bear.
Oh my goodness these are like melt in your mouth champagne goodness except in gummy form, they were fantastic!! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us!!
I’m so glad you loved them! They’re so fun to make, too!
Do you have any thoughts on how to make them stable at room temperature so that I can leave them in a bowl on the counter while I’m having a party?
They should be fine at room temperature for a few hours as long as your room isn’t 90˚. 🙂
Do you think I can use regular rose instead of champagne?
Absolutely!
hmmm, I tried your recipe but somehow those tiny little bears stuck to the molds. Do I have to use Pam or something like it before filling the molds?
thanks much for your help
I’m so sorry! No cooking spray needed…you should be able to push them right out of the mold. You do have to move slowly because some of them did stick a bit for me…but only like 3-4 of them. The rest popped right out.
Where can i get the gummy bear moulds. Can i purchase it on line.
I bought mine on Amazon. Just search for gummy bear mold and they’ll come up. 🙂
Would you recommend sweetening them up a bit with some sugar?
I didn’t add any sugar and they were pretty sweet because rose is a sweeter wine. If you’d like to make them sweeter you can add a little sure, I’d start with 1/2 teaspoon.
Thanks for the suggestion!
