HARIBO GOLD-BEARS GUMMY CANDY HACK

Steps:

• Combine Jell-O, unflavored gelatin and citric acid in a medium microwave-safe bowl and stir to combine.
• Add the corn syrup and water, and stir gently with a soup spoon until all of the ingredients are blended together. Stirring too fast may add air bubbles to the mixture, so keep it slow and sweeping. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so that the gelatin can bloom.
• Stir the candy syrup gently again, then microwave it on high for 30 seconds. Stir it again, then zap it for another 15 seconds. Repeat heating it for 15 seconds 3 more times for a total heating time of 1 1/2 minutes. If air bubbles begin to form on the surface of the gelatin, stop heating and stir gently. You don't want any bubbles in the syrup if you can help it. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. Give the solution a gentle stir every couple of minutes and you should see it become clearer over time.
• Spray the bear molds lightly with oil spray.
• Pour the candy syrup into a measuring cup with a spout, then carefully pour the liquid into the bear molds. Don't fill each bear all of the way to the top. Leave a little room in each mold.
• Let the candy sit for 30 minutes, then put the molds into your refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
• When the candy is firm push each piece out of the molds and arrange them on a baking sheet or in a large storage container so that they are each standing upright. Let them sit this way for 48 hours, then lay them on their backs for 24 hours. This process will help the bears dehydrate so that they are chewy like the originals. Depending on your climate, your gummy bears may have shrunken enough after 72 hours. If not, leave them out for another day or two, until they are chewy. Toss them around every so often as they dry out. When they are chewy enough for you, seal them up in an air-tight covered container or zip-top bag. Keep them stored in a sealed container and they should last for a couple weeks.

HOMEMADE FRUIT GUMMIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Measure 1 c. berries into a small saucepan.
• Cook over medium-low heat and stir and mash into a puree or use an immersion blender. (Alternately you could blend the berries in a blender all together and put 2/3 c. in the pot and 1/3 c. cold.)
• With the immersion blender, blend 1/2 c. berries in a jar or dish. (This can be tricky with such a small amount. Use the big blender if need be.)
• Sprinkle gelatin (use the coupon KS10 for 10% off!) into the cold berry puree and mix.
• Once the cooked berry puree is bubbling, pour it into the cold mixture.
• Blend it all up together with the immersion blender.
• Pour into a small glass dish or casserole dish (about a cm deep or less is good for the poured mixture).
• Chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
• Once gelled semi-solid, you can cut into any size cubes you like.
• Store in the refrigerator, NOT at room temp like purchased "gummy" snacks.

EXTREME SOUR GUMMIES

Steps:

• Put two 50-count silicone gummy bear molds on a baking sheet and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
• Combine the flavored gelatin powder, unflavored gelatin powder, 1 tablespoon of the citric acid and 1/2 cup cold water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently so that the sugar does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan, about 4 minutes. Do not boil.
• Pour the mixture into a small liquid measuring cup. With a spoon, skim off any bubbles that have formed. Carefully fill the molds and gently shake to ensure the mixture settles to the bottom. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
• Combine the sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon citric acid in a medium bowl. Carefully remove the gummy bears from the molds and toss in the sugar mixture. Enjoy immediately.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Spray a paper towel with nonstick cooking spray , then rub it lightly around the bear cavities in the mold to coat them with a thin layer of oil.
• In a small bowl, combine both gelatins and the cold water.
• Whisk them together, then let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to soak up the water and soften.
• Place the bowl in the microwave and cook for 30 seconds, then whisk well. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. The sugar should be dissolved and the mixture well mixed. If not, microwave for another 10 to 15 seconds until the sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Pour it into a measuring cup with a spout.
• Pour the gelatin into the cavities. Alternatively, you can use a food-grade dropper to drop the mixture more precisely into the molds.
• Place the candy mold in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to set the gelatin.
• To remove the bears, carefully push the sides away from the edges and toward the center, then pull them up and out of the molds. Repeat with other colors and flavors of gelatin, as desired.
• Serve and enjoy.

HOMEMADE GUMMY BEARS

Steps:

• Combine the fruit juice or lemonade, gelatin and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the gelatin and sugar dissolve completely, about 1 minute (make sure there is no undissolved sugar stuck to the bottom of the saucepan). If any foam forms while stirring, skim it off and discard. Transfer the mixture to a small liquid measuring cup.
• Put the gummy bear molds on a flat surface and slowly fill each cup to the top. Give each mold a small shake to ensure the mixture settles to the bottom. Refrigerate until the mixture sets, about 10 minutes. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

• Prepare a 6-inch inch pan by wetting it lightly with water.
• Place the gelatin in 4 tbsp of water to soften for about 5 minutes.

• Stir in the gelatin and continue stirring until gelatin dissolves.
• At this point add food coloring if desired.
• Pour into prepared pan and leave until completely set.
• When set, turn out of pan and cut with a sharp knife or cookie cutter into desired shapes.
• Jellies can be rolled in superfine sugar, if desired, or served plain.
