Gummy Candy Recipe
It only takes a few ingredients to learn how to make gummies at home. Making candy with gelatin is easy and by using Jello you can pick your favorite flavors.
Equipment
- plastic or silcone candy molds
Ingredients
- 1 3 oz box of flavored gelatin
- 2 1/4 oz packages of unflavored gelatin
- 1/3 cup water
Instructions
- Place 1/3 cup of water in a small saucepan.
- Sprinkle the Jello and unflavored gelatin over the water. Let sit for 5 - 10 minutes. If you like chewier gummi candy add in another packet of unflavored gelatin.
- Place saucepan over medium heat and stir until gelatin is dissolved about 2-5 minutes. When the mixture is liquid and all gelatin has dissolved, remove from heat.
- Let mixture cool a minute and then pour into a container that is easy to pour from.
- Fill molds. There is no need to oil the molds!
- Allow to cool completely, about 20 minutes. They may be placed in a refrigerator for about 10 minutes if the kids are eager to eat these DIY gummy bears.
- Once cooled to room temperature, the backs can be lightly dusted with corn starch, if desired.
- Peel the gummi candy out of the molds. Don't be shy, you won't hurt them when peeling them from the molds.
