Rainbow Candy Roll Ups (Printable)

Colorful roll-ups filled with assorted gummies create a fun, chewy treat that’s quick and easy to prepare.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Candy Base

01 - 4 fruit-flavored roll-ups (assorted colors)

→ Filling

02 - 1 cup assorted gummy candies (bears, worms, or 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 from the gummy edge, pressing gently to secure candies inside.
04 - Use a sharp knife to slice each roll-up into 1-inch pinwheels.
05 - Serve immediately or refrigerate up to 1 day for a firmer texture.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're ridiculously fast to make and require zero actual cooking, which means even tired evenings can end with homemade treats.
  • Kids can do almost everything themselves, turning snack time into a mini craft project that actually tastes good.
  • The pinwheel slices look so vibrant and impressive that people always assume you spent way more effort than you actually did.
02 -
  • Roll-ups that have been sitting in a warm environment get gummy and nearly impossible to handle—work quickly or chill them beforehand if your kitchen is hot.
  • The texture of your finished pinwheels depends entirely on how tightly you roll; a loose roll means your gummies might shift around, but a roll that's too tight can squeeze the fruit leather and make it crack.
03 -
  • A sharp serrated knife makes slicing so much cleaner than a straight blade, and the difference between ragged and pretty pinwheels is really just the right tool.
  • If your roll-ups are cold straight from the fridge, let them sit for two minutes before unrolling—they're way less likely to crack when they're not cold-stiff.
