Key Recipe Ingredients
You will need Jello-O and wine for this recipe. I have only tested the recipe using the Jell-O brand and I haven’t tested it using any other gelatin. Your results may vary if you don’t make the recipe as directed.
Gummy Molds
You will need to use a mold. I like this one from Amazon.
What Type of Wine to Use
You can use whatever type of wine you like. The wine you use will influence the flavor and taste of the gummy bears. It will also impact the color. If you like sweet wine, go for Riesling or moscato.
If you like dry wine, use something Chardonnay and/or Cabernet Sauvignon.
How to Make Wine Gummy Bears
Detailed measurements and full instructions can be found in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
- Add the Jell-O to the wine in a saucepan and stir until the Jell-O has dissolved.
- Continue to stir or whisk until all of the Jell-O is completely dissolved.
- Bring the saucepan to low heat, careful not to let the mixture boil, stirring continuously until wine melts back down to a liquid consistency.
- Turn off the heat from the stove.
- Using an eyedropper, (the gummy bears kit I ordered from Amazon includes this) fill the gummy bear molds with the Jell-O.
- Place the gummy bear molds in the fridge for 10-15 minutes, or however long it takes to set completely.
- Remove and serve!

In yet another episode of "check Stay Snatched, there's always a good recipe there!" I made these tonight with some leftover cab sav. Let's just say I don't have the best track record of making jello shot-like products, but these may just have redeemed me!

I haven't tried to freeze them. They should freeze just fine, but it may alter the taste some.
