Pour in Juice: Carefully cover the gummy bears with Pineapple Juice. Be sure not to fill your molds all the way to the top, as liquids expand when frozen! Leave about half an inch of space from the rim to prevent overflowing.

Insert Sticks & Freeze: Gently put the popsicle tops or sticks into the filled molds. Place the molds upright in your freezer.
-
Freeze Until Solid: Allow the popsicles to freeze completely. This usually takes at least 4-6 hours, or ideally, overnight, depending on your freezer's temperature.
