Gummies are a favorite sweet treat of kids and adults alike. While it can be convenient just to grab a bag of them off the supermarket shelf, making your own gummies at home can be surprisingly easy.
1 cup of your favorite Jello powder, 4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
Add the warm water to the powders.
2 cups warm water
Mix slowly using a spoon, making sure that it has dissolved completely. You want to try to avoid creating bubbles.
Very lightly oil your favorite shaped silicone molds with vegetable oil. Place the molds on a baking sheet and use a dropper or measuring cup with a spout to pour the mixture into the molds.
Refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight (until they have fully set), and remove the sweets from the mold. At this point, they can be eaten. If you want the gummies to be more chewy, lay them out on wax paper or a baking rack and allow to air-dry for a day or two. They will become chewier.
Serve!
Notes
Storage: The gummies can be stored in an air-tight container at room temperature. They should last up to 3 to 5 days. You can also store them in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Sour Gummies: If you prefer sour gummies, try adding up to 2 teaspoons of food grade citric acid.
Mold Shape: While bears are the most well-known gummy candy shape, you don't have to be limited by it. There are loads of different shaped silicone trays available for you to have fun with.
Jello Flavor: You can choose any flavors you want. There are many different jelly flavors, and you can even try a sugar free or vegetarian alternative.
