Let's get started
Step 1
Mix the jelly powder with warm water and stir until completely dissolved.
Add gelatin powder to cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
Combine the softened gelatin with the jelly mixture and stir well until the gelatin dissolves.
Step 2
If you prefer sweeter gummies, add sugar and stir until dissolved.
Pour the mixture into small silicone molds and refrigerate for 2-3 hours until firm.
Once set, remove the gummies from the molds and serve.
Additional Tips:
- Add natural flavorings like vanilla extract or fruit purées for enhanced taste.
- Replace sugar with natural sweeteners like stevia for a healthier option. (Stevia is a natural, calorie-free sweetener derived from the leaves of the stevia plant, making it a suitable substitute for sugar).
- Use silicone molds with various shapes to make the gummies more visually appealing.
