Making gummies at home is a fun and easy activity that the whole family can enjoy. All you need are some candy flavoring oils, gelatin, and a mold, and you'll be on your way to making delicious gummies in no time! Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
Step One: Choose Your Flavoring Oils
The first step is to choose the candy flavoring oils you want to use. There are many different flavors available, so take some time to decide which ones you want to include in your gummies. Some popular options include cherry, grape, lemon, lime, and orange. You can also find candy flavoring oils that taste like your favorite candy, lip balm or dessert. Once you've decided on your flavors, it's time to move on to step two.
Step Two: Prepare the Gelatin
The next step is to prepare the gelatin. You'll need one tablespoon of unflavored gelatin for every cup of flavored oil you'll be using. So, if you're using two cups of oil, you'll need two tablespoons of gelatin. Add the gelatin to a saucepan and stir in just enough water to cover it. Then, heat the mixture over low heat until the gelatin has dissolved completely. Once it has dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Step Three: Add the Oil and Water
Now it's time to add the flavored oil and water to the mixture. Add one cup of flavored oil and one cup of water for every tablespoon of gelatin you used. Stir until everything is combined evenly, then pour the mixture into your mold. If you don't have a mold, you can use an ice cube tray or even just pour it into a lined baking dish. Just make sure that whatever container you use is non-stick so that the gummies won't stick when they're ready to be removed.
Step Four: Let It Set
Now all you have to do is let your gummies set! Place them in the fridge for at least two hours, or overnight if you prefer. Once they've set, pop them out of the mold (or cut them into squares if using a dish) and enjoy! Store any leftover gummies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
