Sprinkle the gelatin into the water and let develop for 5 minutes.

Pour the champagne into a small pot and bring to a simmer. Add the gelatin and whisk until fully dissolved. Pour the liquid into a container with an easy-pour spout and cool to room temperature.

Sprinkle some gold leaf flakes into the inside of a gummy bear mold and gently pour the liquid on top. Place the mold in the fridge until the gummy bears have fully set, about 30 minutes.
