My nephew and I spent some time together over the weekend and we had a blast making “Homemade Gummi Candy” using a simple recipe from Skip to My Lou (a great blog!). If you haven’t tried these, you’ll be amazed at how easy it is!
1 Box Jello (3 oz)
2 Packets gellatin (1/4 oz each)
1/3 cup of water
- Combine the Jello, gellatin and water in a sauce pan and stir for 5 minutes.
- Heat the mixture over low heat and stir for 2-5 minutes, until everything is dissolved
- Transfer the liquid to a container that can easily pour (I used a liquid measuring cup)
- Pour into candy molds and let cool for 10 minutes
- Lightly cover the back of the candy with corn starch
Enjoy!
