My son's birthday is coming up soon and I have been looking all over the internet for Bob the Builder items. I found some tool shaped gummies that were cute, but incredibly overpriced. I got to thinking. How hard can it be to make gummies? So I started searching and found lots of recipes. Turns out, it's incredibly easy! The hard part was finding the right recipe. There were SO many variations. So, I simply started making them. The first batch had good flavor, but bad texture. The second had great texture, but not as good of flavor. The third was pretty good, just a little too tough and slightly lacking in flavor. The fourth, today's version, was complete perfection.
So here is what I did to make today's gummies.
1/3 c. water
4 packets Knox Unflavored Gelatin
1 - 3 oz package Jello
1/2 package of Kool-Aid (Mix and match your Jello and Kool-Aid flavors however you would like)
Place water in small saucepan. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Let set for a few mins until it thickens to a playdoh like consistency. Cook over low-med heat until you have a thick syrup and all sugars are dissolved. Pour into plastic candy molds (shaped silicone ice cube trays work as well). Let set about 20 mins until firm. Peel from molds. Store in sealed container.
*If you are impatient like we have been while trying to perfect our recipe, you can put the molds in the fridge for about 10 mins.
Enjoy!
