Rainbow Candy Roll Ups (Printable)

Bright fruit roll-ups combined with gummy candies make a delightful, chewy snack to brighten any occasion.

# Ingredient list:

→ Candy Base

01 - 4 fruit-flavored roll-ups, assorted colors

→ Filling

02 - 1 cup assorted gummy candies (bears, worms, fruit shapes)

# How to Make It:

01 - Unroll each fruit roll-up and lay flat on a clean surface or parchment paper.
02 - Arrange an even layer of assorted gummy candies along one long edge of each roll-up.
03 - Carefully roll up the fruit roll-up starting from the edge with the gummy candies, pressing gently to secure the filling.
04 - Using a sharp knife, slice each roll-up into 1-inch wide pinwheels.
05 - Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 day to firm the texture.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Zero cooking means zero stress—perfect for when you want to create something together without the oven heat.
  • The colors are genuinely stunning, which somehow makes even basic gummy candies feel fancy enough for a party.
  • Kids can actually help with the whole thing, and watching them roll these up keeps them entertained longer than you'd expect.
02 -
  • Room-temperature roll-ups are infinitely easier to work with than cold ones—they're more flexible and won't tear as easily when you're rolling.
  • Don't overfill. It sounds obvious, but a thin, even line of gummies rolls beautifully; a thick pile spills out when you slice and looks messy instead of intentional.
  • The knife makes all the difference. A dull blade crushes the pinwheel instead of cutting it, so use your sharpest one.
03 -
  • Let roll-ups sit out for a few minutes before rolling—they become flexible and forgiving instead of stiff and tear-prone.
  • If you want a tangy twist, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sour sugar or citric acid on the filling before rolling, and you'll get a completely different flavor experience.
