Baby food jars

Allow the mixture to cool and then whisk in 1 cup of vodka (replace with 1 cup of cold water for a non-alcoholic version).
Step 3
Pour the mixture into empty baby food jars and refrigerate until it's partially set.
Step 4
Use a toothpick to gently poke a gummy frog into the center of each jar.

Place the lids on the jars and marvel at how those froggies jiggle and wiggle!
Tip: Paint the jar lids with non-toxic metallic paint for a more authentic apothecary vibe.
