Thank you to all who replied. The general consensus was that jolly
ranchers are GF, but most were unsure about gummy bears. I did recieve a
few responses that haribo/hairbo(??) brand gummy bears were GF. Some of
you requested the recipe:
Apple Martini
Add several apple jolly ranchers to a bottle of vodka and let it sit
overnight. They dissolve and you have a very strong apple martini. I
haven't tasted it yet - so it could be awful - but I'm sure not as awful as
beer would be! You can substitute any flavor jolly rancher for a different
martini.
Gummy Bears (they don't have to be bears)
Put a bunch of gummy candy in a bowl. Add vodka. Put in the freezer
overnight. They apparently will shrivel up. Then let them warm up to room
temperature and they will supposedly swell to twice their original size. I
guess it is just a vodka/candy snack. Good for a college party where you
can't drink the beer.
