Gummy candy has been around for over a century — and in honor of National Gummi Bear Day, we wanted to put the spotlight on this sugary sensation.

The fun shapes and colorful presentation make them an ideal cooking ingredient, especially for DIY recipes. Over at NORA Best Life, we’ve been “beary busy” gathering up a few fun options for you to try.

You can learn how to work these gummy delights into chocolate bars, cakes, and more. We also provide a guide on how to make your own gummies if you really want to go all out.

We hope you’ll enjoy this holiday and the fun treats that go with it. For more fun DIY, cooking, and holiday content, make sure you bookmark us and follow us on Facebook and Twitter. If you share our post, be sure to use the hashtag #NationalGummiBearDay and share the fun with everyone.
