These fruit snacks are made with real fruit juice, free of sugar and preservatives, and my kids like them. Actually, my kids LOVE them! Plus they're super easy to make.

Prepare silicone candy mold(s) by greasing very lightly. I used coconut oil, but use whatever you would ordinarily use to grease a baking dish.
Measure fruit juice and pour it into a small saucepan. If juice is cold, warm it up just barely (to room temperature) otherwise just use it as is.
Sprinkle the packets of gelatin over the top of the juice a little bit at a time, pausing to whisk it in thoroughly to avoid clumping.
Warm the mixture to almost boiling over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam that has accumulated on top.
Carefully pour the mixture into prepared silicone candy molds (can also be poured into a lightly oiled baking dish and cut into bite-sized pieces once cool).
Refrigerate until fully set, about 1 hour. Store in an airtight container, either in the pantry, or for longer storage, keep in the refrigerator.
