Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 oz boxed Jello mix (1 flavor/color per batch)
  • 0.75 oz unflavored gelatin powder (3 envelopes, 0.25 each)
  • ⅔ cup water

Instructions

  • Pour flavored Jell-o, unflavored gelatin, and water into a saucepan (no heat) and whisk to combine. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
  • Heat mixture in saucepan over medium-low heat, whisking continuously until melted and dissolved (~2 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and transfer mixture into silicone gummy bear molds or silicone molds of choice. (I use a dropper/syringe to make this easier, adding ~1mL of liquid per gummy bear cavity.)
  • Chill in refrigerator until the gummies are set. (This should only take around 15-20 minutes.)
  • Once set, pop gummy bears out of molds and enjoy! To remove from molds, push from the back of the mold—starting at the bottom/legs of each gummy bear and moving up to the top/head.
  • Store gummies in an airtight container in the fridge, or leave them in the molds and cover until ready to enjoy. Lasts up to 7 days.
  • Yields ~150 gummy bears. (Filled ~3 of my silicone gummy bear molds.)
