Five pound gummie bears

[Magpie]

... this stupid food coloring allergy. ...

Have you actually tested what colours you can and can't have? Most people can have blues and greens... (I know, testing isn't always cool). But it's Yellow #5, which is most likely to cause problems (Lappe, Diet for a Small Planet). I believe that the beetle-based red is the next most likely culprit.

would totally serve this for halloween or as a birthday substitute for cake but would cut up pieces instead of letting them go at it.
cake and gummi bear!
