Sour Patch Fruits

Have you ever eaten an entire package of Sour Patch Kids?

Believe me, I’ve done it…that sour, gummy, tongue twisting flavor gets me every time! You can imagine how thrilled I was when I found Sour Patch Fruits! I first discovered this sour fruit treat from the blog Sweet Treats and More. Thank goodness too, because she saved me a lot of time by discovering the plastic bag method – you’ll see what I’m talking about in a second.



All you need for these tart treats are fruits of your choosing and gelatin powder. I chose green grapes and lime gelatin powder, and experimented further with making sour blueberries and strawberries. Pucker up people–it’s about to get sour up in here.

Directions:

Wash your fruit – you can skip the step of drying them; these puppies need to be wet for the gelatin to properly stick! Pour the powder in a plastic baggie (the aforementioned plastic bag trick) and shake your fruits around in the closed bag! Voila! You can let them cool down in the fridge for a few hours, or you can start snacking right away!



So the next time you want to down a bag of Sour Patch Kids, reach for some fresh produce instead. Get your daily fruits with a twist… a tart twist!
