Time 45m

Yield 100 gummy bears

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 cup fruit juice, such as cranberry, grape, orange or lemonade
2 tablespoons unflavored powdered gelatin
2 tablespoons sugar

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.

EXTREME SOUR GUMMIES

Pucker up for these sweet and sour gummies, which pack some serious punch thanks to a secret ingredient -- citric acid -- which you can buy online or at any specialty baking store. Just make sure to enjoy them immediately once you've tossed them in the sugar mixture or they will become sticky.

Time 2h15m

Yield 100 gummy bears

Number Of Ingredients 5

Nonstick cooking spray, for the molds
One 3-ounce box flavored gelatin powder, such as Jell-O
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
2 tablespoons citric acid
1/4 cup sugar

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.

Time 27m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 3

6 1/4-ounce packages unflavored gelatin, 1.5 ounces total
1 3-ounce package flavored gelatin
1/2 cup cold water

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Prepare the candy molds by making sure they are clean and dry. Spray them with a very light coating of nonstick cooking spray. Place the molds on a baking sheet.
  • Combine the unflavored gelatin, flavored gelatin, and cold water in a small saucepan. Slowly whisk everything together until well combined and the gelatin has dissolved. Although you might feel tempted to mix vigorously, the less air you incorporate the better, so the gummies set without air bubbles.
  • Place the saucepan on the stove over medium heat. Continue to whisk occasionally while the mixture heats up, and the gelatins melt and become liquid, about 4 minutes.
  • Once the gummy mixture is fully liquid, remove the pan from the heat and pour the gelatin into a measuring cup or a similar container with a spout.
  • Carefully fill each cavity of the mold with gelatin. Transfer the baking sheet with the candy molds to the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes so the gummy candies can fully set.
  • Once the candies are set, remove the gummies by carefully pushing the sides of the candy away from the edges of the mold and toward the center, then pull them up and out of the molds.
