I grew up poor, and treats weren’t something we just bought, they were something we figured out how to make. This book comes from that mindset. Simple ingredients, real methods, and snacks that don’t cost a fortune.
This book focuses on gummies and sweet snacks, including homemade gummies, fruit snacks, fruit roll-ups, soft chews, gel candies, and easy marshmallow-based treats. Everything is designed to be affordable, repeatable, and flexible depending on what you have on hand.
Each recipe includes a short background, a clear step-by-step method, ingredient alternatives, basic nutrition estimates, and a cost breakdown showing how much you save compared to store-bought versions. The goal isn’t to perfectly copy brands, but to understand how these snacks work so you can make them yourself for less.
This is for anyone trying to stretch their grocery budget, families, or anyone tired of paying high prices for small snacks. The same core ingredients are reused across recipes, so one grocery run can go a long way.
This is Book One. Start simple, learn the basics, and build from there.
