Gummy Grubs

If you grew up side-eyeing animated “grub cups” and wondering why they looked…kind of delicious, this recipe is for you.

These Gummy Grubs are playful, a little unexpected, and surprisingly elegant when made with the right ingredients.

No artificial aftertaste, no guesswork.

Think: jewel-toned gummies with a soft bite, perfect for themed treats, party favors, or just leaning into your inner adventurous snacker.
