How to Make Homemade Gummies
Brittany Banks is a young woman who likes to experiment with food. She gets bored with always eating the same meals.
Both kids and adults enjoy these delicious treats.
Types of Gummies
There are many gummies out there that people love to eat. Gummy bears and gummy worms are a very popular candy treat. Some gummies have extra sugar added to them like the peach and apple rings. These gummies have been around for a lot time. Why should you drive all the way to the store when you can make them in your own home?
Molds
You will want to use any type of silicone mold. Don't do the plastic molds, because the gummies will not be able to come out or keep their shape. There are different shapes and sizes of mold that you can use. You can clean these silicone molds by putting them in your dishwasher. The molds are durable and will last a long time. You can find these molds online.
Gummies are fun and simple to make. Check this recipe out and tell me what you think.

Ingredients
- 2 packs Unflavored Geletine
- 1/2 cup Cold Water
- 1/4 cup Corn syrup
- 1 box Jello of any flavor you choose
Jolly ranchers jello are the staple for this gummy recipe.
Instructions
- Add cold water and corn syrup to a medium-sized pot.
- Stir until the corn syrup dissolves.
- Add packets of unflavored gelatin to the mixture.
- Add one packet of jello. This packet can be any flavor your choice.
- Stir slowly until all the ingredients turns into a liquid.
- Turn on heat to low/medium.
- Slowly stir so it doesn't burn. Keep stirring until the ingredients turn into a sugary liquid.
- Pour slowly into your molds of choice, find a flat place to lay the molds into the refrigerator. Let it cool for 4 hours and serve.
Pouring into Molds
Pouring this mixture can be tricky. Beware the mixture will be hot when you pour it. Use a bottle with a nozzle to add the mixture to the molds. This can make it a lot easier task to do. Do not pour the mixture straight from the pot unless you want a huge sticky mess to clean up.
Pouring into the molds is tricky and may require some practice.
Removing the Gummies from the Molds
As you are removing the gummies from the molds, be careful and do it slowly. Once they are out of the molds, put the gummies in a bag. Leave these gummies in the fridge until you are ready to eat them. The gummies might stick to the bag.

I don't eat candy very often, but when I do, it's always gummy candies. I've never tried making them before, though! Maybe I will now.
