# Expert Tips:

01 -

You can personalize each jelly cup with your favorite gummy bear flavors—everyone will want to pick their own.
The combination of zesty lemonade and chewy gummies makes every spoonful a sweet surprise at any party.

02 -

If the gelatin doesn’t fully dissolve you’ll get an unappealing grainy texture—be patient stirring on gentle heat.
Letting the gelatin mixture cool too long before pouring means it can set early in the pan, trapping air bubbles and lumps.
