Orange Creamsicle ice pops remind me of being a kid on a hot summer day. The orange ice outside and vanilla cream inside. I used to eat all the orange off before starting on the vanilla part.
I don't think my kids have ever had a creamsicle pop because they all pick chocolate anything given the choice but on occasion, I do prefer the orange and vanilla combo over chocolate.
How to Make this Easy Gummies Recipe
Making gummies is very easy! Just dissolve the gelatin and add the other ingredients. Pour into molds and let them set in the fridge. If you've ever made a box of Jell-O you can make these.
How long do these gummies take to set?
They set really fast in the fridge. I was taking pictures of them an hour after I started.
Which is better: orange oil or extract?
Orange oil works the best in this but you can use extract if you need to.
How many gummies does this make?
This recipe makes about 45 gummies depending on the size of your molds.

Hi, I have a question, these look very good by the way.. My question is, what size scoop, would you mean like the one in a protein powder container?
Thank you very much for your reply.

Taryn says
The scoop that comes in stevia is normally 1/32 of a teaspoon. It is very tiny.
Judy Woodard says
Taryn... can you tell me what type of Orange Oil you use? I have orange extract but cannot find any
orange oil that is edible.
Thanks so much - I am LOVING all of your recipes!
