You could always just dust them again - it's only icing sugar.

A freind who did this injected individual jelly babies with vodka but 
that's quite laborious.

The alternative is to make vodka jelly. IIRC (and, unfortunately, the 
process of making vodka jellies is diametrically opposite to the ability 
to remember afterwards) use only 3/4 of the amount of liquid that is 
require don the packet and, of that, make half of it vodka (so if you 
normally need a liter than you'll need approx 750-800 ml of liquid of 
which 375-400ml will be water and 375-400ml will be vodka).

Then pour into little man shaped mould et voila.

However they'll be much more wobbly than Jelly Babies so perhaps the 
answer is to go to a catering store and try and find catering gelatin 
which, I belive, can be made much more solid. You'll need to flavour it 
though.

    You can always re-coat them in magic sugary dust - icing sugar should work.
