Homemade Fruit Snacks

So today we attempted to make our own fruit snacks.  Well, they turned out pretty darn good!  Granted I only got 19 of them.  But they are bigger than ones you buy in the store (about 2-3 times bigger).  These have no added sugar or preservatives, which is what I love most.  To get about 40 of them, it would cost you a little over $3.  This does not include the cost of the molds.  I got 2 trays for $1.  I used 2 packs of gelatin, but if you want a firmer snack, I would suggest using 3 packs (that would in turn make your cost a little more).  These ones were still firm enough to come out of the mold without any damage.  And they passed the kid test- they LOVE them!
