CITRUS & HONEY JELLY BITES

These Citrus & Honey Jelly Bites are one of those recipes that disappear almost as quickly as they're made! They're incredibly simple to prepare using just three ingredients: fresh citrus juice, honey and gelatine and are a refreshing homemade alternative to store-bought jellies.

The best part? They can be enjoyed straight from the fridge as chewy jelly bites or frozen into little icy treats during summer. In fact, discovering how delicious they were frozen happened completely by accident after I forgot them in the freezer overnight! The kids loved them so much that it's now our favourite way to enjoy them on warm days.

Whether you're looking for a fun lunchbox surprise, an after-school snack or a healthier homemade treat, these Citrus & Honey Jelly Bites are sure to become a family favourite.
