Do any of you make homemade gummy candies for your kids?

I'd like to make some but the only recipes I've found are with jello. I'd prefer to use fruit juice and unflavored gelatin.

Before I waste ingredients making a recipe up (as I'm sure to have several disasters) thought I'd ask if any of you have made them.

Thanks!

 
Here are a couple, but I have not made them.

But it might be a starting point.
Let us know what you end up making.
