Ingredients
- 4 ounce flavored gelatin
- 1/2 ounce unflavored gelatin
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional
- 1/4 cup cold water
Directions
- Prepare your bear-shaped candy molds by spraying the clean molds with a light layer of nonstick cooking spray.
- Put the molds onto a baking tray.
- Place the unflavored gelatin, flavored gelatin, and cold water in a saucpan over low to medium heat.
- Whisk the contents together until the gelatin has dissolved and all the gummy mixture becomes liquid.
- If you are adding lemon juice to the recipe wait until the liquid is room temperature, and then add it.
- Otherwise pour your gummy liquid into a measuring cup with a spout and pour the liquid carefully into each mold.
- Place your baking sheet in the refridgerator so the gummies can set.
- The gummies are set when you can no longer see any liquid moving.
- Remove them by carefully pushing the sides of the molds towards the center.
- The best way to store your gummy bears is in the refrigerator.
