Homemade Gummy Candy

Materials Needed

• 3 oz flavored gelatin
• 1 oz unflavored gelatin
• 1/3 cup water
• candy molds
• cornstarch (optional)

Directions

1. Pour the water into a small pan or pot. Sprinkle in the gelatin and let it sit for 5 minutes.
2. Put the pot over medium heat on the stove and stir until all the gelatin has dissolved. This will take about 3-5 minutes.
3. Let the mixture cool for a minute, and then pour the mixture into a smaller container to facilitate pouring.
4. Fill your candy molds with the gelatin. Let them cool completely (about 20 – 30 minutes).
5. Once your candies have firmed up, pop them out of their containers! To prevent sticking, you can dust them with a little cornstarch.
