Fruit Gummy Bears

Chia seed note: Soak 2 tbsps of chia seeds and about 1/4 cup+ water in a container until chia seeds swell to a gel-like texture. Usually takes 10-20 minutes. Skip this step if you are using berries. With the berries, this can be done at the same time you are cooking the berries. But you can definitely soak them to make sure they are soft.
