Gummy Candies

These chewy gummies are incredibly easy to make, and are more flavorful than store-bought gummy candies. Use any flavor of gelatin you desire. You can also make multi-flavored gummies by filling the molds half full, letting them harden, and then filling them all the way up with a second gummy flavor. If you don't have candy molds, you can use mini-muffin tins or ice cube trays to form your gummies.

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (3 oz) flavored gelatin, such as Jell-O brand
  • 6 packages unflavored gelatin
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2-3 candy molds, depending on the size of the cavities in the mold

Preparation:

1. Prepare candy molds by spraying with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Combine unflavored gelatin, flavored gelatin, and cold water in a small saucepan. Stir until well mixed.

3. Place saucepan on stove over medium heat. Continue stirring while mixture heats up and becomes liquid.

4. Once mixture is fully liquid, remove from heat and pour into prepared molds.

5. Allow to cool slightly, then place in freezer for 10 minutes to solidify.

6. Once solid, remove carefully from molds, and enjoy!
