Sour Gummy Recipe
- 1 box Jello (Any flavor or brand)
- 1 package Gelatin unflavored
- 1 package Unsweetened Koolaid (or similar brand) in complimentary flavor
- 1 cup water
- Candy Mold – optional
Mix dry ingredients in a shallow bowl. Heat water on medium high to just boiling. Mix in dry ingredients constantly stirring till powder is completely dissolved (usually a couple of minutes). Pour in desired mold and allow to set. Store in airtight container in refrigerator for a couple weeks or a few days on the counter.
Jenn’s Notes:
- Spray candy mold with cooking spray for easier removal.
- Instead of a candy mold, use a large plate or casserole dish and pizza cutter to cut into strips for gummy worms.
- Place 1/2 inch of cornstarch in a large casserole dish to create your own candy mold shapes. Use a gummy bear with toothpick in it’s back to make the bear shape.
- Refrigerate for quicker setting gummies.
- Substitute fruit juice for the water to get a healthier version.
- Omit the Koolaid for a plain fruit flavored gummy.
- Think of the colors when mixing the Jello and Koolaid. Use clear Koolaid versions if you don’t want to alter the color of the final product.
- Layer colors by making one batch, allowing to completely set in freezer or refrigerator then pouring another fresh batch on top.
