Colorful Fruit Roll-Ups Snack (Printable Version)

Bright, chewy pinwheels featuring fruit rolls and assorted gummies for a colorful, playful treat.

# What You Need:

→ Filling

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

# Step-by-Step:

01 - Unroll each fruit roll-up and place flat on a clean surface or parchment paper.
02 - Distribute 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 gummies, pressing gently to secure the candies inside.
04 - Cut each roll-up into 1-inch thick pinwheels using a sharp knife.
05 - Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 day to achieve a firmer texture.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Takes just 10 minutes from cupboard to plate—no cooking required, which means even kids can lead the way.
  • The colors are so bright and playful that it feels special, even though you're basically just rolling up candy.
  • Perfectly portioned pinwheels are ideal for lunchboxes, potlucks, or when you need a quick celebration-worthy snack.
02 -
  • If your gummies slide out during rolling, you've added too many—a light layer stays put; a heavy one becomes a mess (I learned this the messy way).
  • A really sharp knife makes all the difference when slicing; a dull knife crushes the roll-up instead of cutting clean pinwheels.
03 -
  • Room-temperature roll-ups roll more smoothly than cold ones, so let them sit out for a minute if they're stiff.
  • A serrated knife works better than a straight knife for cutting without squishing—the gentle sawing motion is your friend.
