While these are not exactly gumdrops, these homemade low carb gummies are a healthier alternative.
They are made with real fruit and gelatin. They are healthier since they are not loaded with sugar, but gelatin also
Homemade Gummies: Low Carb and Healthy

Notes
The product I use to make these sour gummies is called True Lemon/True Lime which is essentially powdered juice with no added sugar. They are meant to be added to water in place of fresh lemon or lime if you don't have that available. They are REALLY sour! You'll need to add a bit of granulated or powdered sweetener for this recipe.
