FLAVORS OF GUMMY BEARS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium-sized and microwave-safe bowl, combine your flavored gelatin and citric acid. Afterward, stir until well combined.
• Then, add your corn syrup and water to the bowl. Afterward, stir the mixture gently using a soup spoon until all ingredients combine well. Avoid stirring too fast because it may add air bubbles to your mixture. Also, keep it slow and sweeping. After that, allow your gelatin mixture to sit for about five minutes to let your gelatin bloom.
• Once the gelatin has bloomed, stir your gelatin mixture. Then, place it inside the microwave; set on high heat for about thirty seconds. Afterward, stir the mixture again. And microwave for another fifteen seconds. Next, repeat the heating process of fifteen seconds three times for a total of one minute and a half. If you can see air bubbles forming on the surface of your gelatin, stop heating. After that, stir it gently to remove the bubbles.
• Afterward, let your gelatin mixture sit for about ten minutes. Make sure to stir your mixture every two minutes. With this, you can observe that it is more clearer over time. Then, take your bear silicone molds. And grease them lightly using a non-stick cooking spray.
• After that, gently pour your gelatin mixture into a measuring cup with a spout. Then, carefully pour your gelatin mixture into the bear silicone molds. Avoid filling each bear with the gelatin mixture to the top; leave a little room in each mold.
• Next, let your gummy bears sit for about thirty minutes. Once done, place the molds inside the refrigerator for another thirty minutes.
• When your gummy bears are firm, push each piece out of the bear molds. And arrange them on a baking sheet. Position each of the bears where they are standing upright.
• Then, let your gummy bears sit in that position for forty-eight hours. And lay them on their backs for another twenty-four hours. This process is long. But, it will help your gummy bears dehydrate so that they will become chewy like the store-bought ones. Depending on the climate where you lived, the gummy bears could shrink after seventy-two hours. If it did not shrink, leave your bears for another day or more until they have a chewy consistency. Afterward, toss your gummy bears around as often as you can so they will dry out.
• Ultimately, when you achieve the right chewiness, you can place your gummy bears inside an air-tight container. And they will usually last for about two weeks.

Steps:

• Fill a saucepan almost halfway with water; bring to a boil.
• Measure 1/3 cup cold water in a glass measuring cup. Dissolve gelatin in the cold water, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Stir in stevia powder and soft drink mix.
• Place measuring cup in the boiling water. Stir gelatin mixture until syrupy.
• Place candy molds on a baking sheet. Remove gelatin mixture from boiling water and immediately fill molds using a small syringe.
• Chill gelatin mixture until set, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days. Remove from molds.
