So, tonight I made "gummy circles" aka gummy bears in a circle. They turned out pretty good, the consistancy worked well, but they tasted like Jello (Funny that's what they were made of). I'll post the recipe for them if you want to try them:
Shopping List:
A candy mold, 1.50$ from Hobby Lobby or any craft store
1 3/4 cups boiling water
1 6oz package Jell-O or a Jello knockoff brand.
Measuring cup with pour spout - Use a glass one; plastic ones break eventually when exposed to boiling water
2 tsp Unflavored Gelatin - Knox brand or another
A medium to large sized bowl
Vegetable oil or Pam-type cooking spray
paper towels
Making the Gummies:
Either spray no-stick cooking spray on the candy mold then whipe it off again with the paper towel, or add a small amount of vegetable oil to a paper towel and whipe down the mold. Add Jello package and 2 tsp gelatin to bowl and mix together. Pour in 1 3/4 cups boiling water, and stir for about 2 minutes, until everything is definitely dissolved. Pour into the candy mold, and place it in the fridge. 30 minutes should be enough time for it to set if you're using a small gummy bear or jelly bean mold, but go for an hour to 2 hours if making larger shapes (like turtles). This makes a whole bunch of gummy bears - enough for three or four people. If you're making more than one color of gummy bear for a mix, expect to have gummy bears coming out your ears
I'll probably make them again, but with differant flavors next time. Instead of Watermellon and Blueberry. Flavors that are actual gummy bear flavors maybe...
