Gummy Bears

[jennifersmatthews]

Ahhh! I really want GUMMY bears but my jello/Knox keep turning out to be jello gummies. Any ideas?

Increase the gelatin.

@jennifersmatthews are you following @Brenda recipe?

Gummy candies

Great for a carb free candy type sweet. I use one package sugar free jello gelatin(this is strawberry) and two packages Knox unflavored gelatin. Stir into 1.5 cups (12 oz) of boiling water until dissolved. Chill till firm, cut into bite size pieces. [image]

Increase the gelatin.

THIS.
The more gelatin you add, the firmer the candy

[jennifersmatthews]

Yes

Help please! I am trying to make gummies using this gummies recipe … but they are just not getting firm! I added more gelatin as well but they don’t get solid. Any advice?

Thanks!

On a whim I tried to make them and they turned out okay, I just didn’t have the right flavouring so used black tea just for some colour, but texturally they were perfect.

Recipe

3/4 cup gelatin powder
2/3 cup erythritol/xylitol
3 cups water
(add flavours/colouring to taste)

Add the sweetener to boiling water and stir until completely dissolved.
Add flavour and colouring
Whisk in the gelatin in parts until dissolved
Pour mixture into holds
Refrigerate for 30 - 60 minutes
Eat

(this recipe made way too many, be warned)

@crickette made some today using your recipe. Will try them tomorrow, I went a little light on the flavouring (me being cheap) but I could taste it, found it a bit sweet too. If the kids like them I leave it, if they don’t, I reduce the xylitol.
