These Keto gummy bears have zero carbs, so they make great low carb treats. And you can eat all the sugar free gummies that you like, with zero guilt.
I’m going to be straight with you.
There aren’t that many times when the foods that I make for my kids intersect with the low carb meals that I make for myself. But my kids do make one exception. They will happily eat the sugar free gummy bears that I make at home. Have they guessed that these gummy bears are sugar free? They have not.
So, you are saying that gummy bears are Keto friendly?
Normal sugary gummy bears are out of the question obviously, but these sugar free gummies are literally a zero carb food. A lot of Keto foods say they are zero carb, but actually have some amount that is less than 1g. Not so with these Keto gummy bears. Zero carbs actually means zero carbs.
How do you make homemade Keto gummy bears?
It’s actually quite easy to make your own sugar free gummies at home. You’ll need Sugar Free Jello, Knox Unflavored Gelatine and a gummy bear candy mold. You dissolve the two kinds of gelatin in water over the stove and then fill the wells of the candy mold with a pipette that should come with the mold. Chill them for 30 minutes in the refrigerator and you are good to go.
But won’t the Keto police come after me for eating gummy candy made from Sugar Free Jello?
Oh, probably. But they get up at arms if you so much as nibble on a carrot. The amount of Maltodextrin and Aspartame in these sugar free gummies is infinitesimal. So they can just take a chill pill.
Where can you buy gummy bear molds?
You can find all sorts of fun candy molds on Amazon. In addition to the sugar free gummy bears, you can make gummy worms and gummy monsters. Just make sure that the mold you pick comes with a pipette (a.k.a. an eye dropper) to use to fill the wells.
Ok, now it’s time for me to get back to my favorite pastime: fooling children.
Good bye.
Sugar Free Keto Gummy Bears
These homemade Keto gummy bears have zero carbs, so they make great sugar free treats.
- Prep Time: 5
- Cook Time: 5
- Total Time: 10 minutes
- Category: Candy
- Method: Stovetop
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1 (.3oz) package Sugar Free Jello
- 1 envelope Knox unfavored gelatine
- 1/3 cup cold water
Instructions
1. Mix together the Jello, unflavored gelatine and water in a medium sized saucepan.
2. Cook over low heat until fully dissolved, about 2 minutes.
3. Fill the wells of a candy mold with the Jello, using a pipette. Do this right after cooking, or else the mixture will gell before you can add it to the candy molds.
4. Refrigerate for 30 minutes until fully gelled. Remove gummies from the mold and serve. Can be stored in a resealable container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or for 1 week at room temperature on the counter.
Notes
Updated 8-23-2019 The last few times I’ve made these gummies, I’ve dissolved 1 tablespoon of powdered erythritol along with the Jello and unflavored gelatin. The gummies are plenty sweet without this added sweetener, but I feel like it masks the taste of aspartame from the Sugar Free Jello. And it makes the candy taste more like the super sweet gummies that you buy at the store.

January 23, 2020 at 12:39 amHello,
I made this, but had to double it because my sugar free jello was 0.7 ounces. They won’t set. Put them in the freezer after half hour in fridge. Now they are frozen but still not set. Not chewy, not even jellowy, what’s wrong?
EmilyKrill says
January 23, 2020 at 6:42 amI’m not sure what happened there. My only suggestion is to make the recipe as written.
Mike says
January 20, 2020 at 10:52 pmCould you add xanthum gum powder to make them chewier?
EmilyKrill says
January 20, 2020 at 10:54 pmI think that they are plenty chewy.
Sonya Ladd says
January 19, 2020 at 4:17 pmSo the jello is 2 carbs on the box for sugar free ,how is it carb free?
EmilyKrill says
January 19, 2020 at 4:21 pmI’ve never seen a box of Sugar-Free Jello that had any amount of carbs.
CYNTHIA says
December 16, 2019 at 5:55 pmCan I pour these onto a cookie sheet and once they are set use a cookie cutter to cut out shapes?
EmilyKrill says
December 16, 2019 at 6:18 pmSure, that will work. Good idea.
Jenny says
November 12, 2019 at 5:41 pmThese taste great but I’m wondering if it’s possible to make them without the SF jello (I know, I”m being a pain!!). Maybe some dried strawberry powder and sweetener? I’m I crazy for even thinking about this? I was going to make some as gifts and need to be more restrictive. Thanks for all of your fab recipes!

EmilyKrill says
November 12, 2019 at 6:16 pmYou are not crazy at all. I so wish that there was a healthier alternative to Sugar Free Jello. No dice on that front, but you are in luck about the gummy candy. The gnom-gnom blog has a gummy candy recipe that uses dried raspberry powder and unflavored gelatin. I haven’t tried her recipe, but every other recipe of hers I’ve tried has been delicious. https://www.gnom-gnom.com/paleo-keto-gummies

November 2, 2019 at 12:28 pmLooking forward to trying this. How many drops of liquid stevia should I use?

EmilyKrill says
November 2, 2019 at 12:47 pmThe Sugar-Free Jello has sweetener in it so you don’t need to add any other sweeteners. Hope you like the recipe!

October 24, 2019 at 3:14 pmSuper easy and totally satisfied my craving for gummy bears.

Heather says
October 8, 2019 at 12:26 pmYour ingredients call for the packet if sugar free jell-o, a packet of knox and 1/3 c. Water. This isn’t nearly enough liquid. Am I making it according to box directions and then only adding 1/3 c of cold water in the end?
EmilyKrill says
October 8, 2019 at 12:37 pmNo, the Jello liquid needs to be very concentrated to get the gummy consistency. Don’t think about the box instructions. You are making candy, not Jello.
Samantha says
July 27, 2019 at 7:48 amWhat weight is the gelatine envelope please?
EmilyKrill says
July 27, 2019 at 9:49 amEach envelope has .25 oz of gelatin. It is such a small amount, I don’t think it would even register on a scale.
Karen says
June 9, 2019 at 9:57 pmDo these stick together once set? If so what do you suggest to keep them apart? We are making them at a birthday party and sending home as part of the loot bag. Thanks
EmilyKrill says
June 9, 2019 at 10:07 pmSorry, it’s been awhile since I made these. I don’t remember them sticking together too much. My advice is to do a test run before the party to make sure they don’t overly stick together. They are very similar to real store bought gummies, so hopefully they’ll be fine for the gift bags. I think it’s a great idea to send the kids home with sugar-free treats. Hope these gummies work out!
Vanessa Ewing says
February 22, 2019 at 6:49 amCan you make these using Agar powder?
EmilyKrill says
February 22, 2019 at 8:43 amNo, I’m afraid not. Agar is much more powerful than unflavored gelatin (1 teaspoon agar powder is equivalent to 8 teaspoons gelatin powder) so the quantities just don’t work out.
Rose says
February 8, 2019 at 2:46 pmDo you refrigerate ? After set
EmilyKrill says
February 8, 2019 at 2:48 pmYou can, but you don’t need to. Put them in an airtight container and they’ll last in the fridge or on the counter for up to 2 weeks.
Becca says
October 25, 2018 at 3:35 pmMy kids LOVE these now. They have no idea they are sugar free. And I’m not telling them.
