How to Make Gummy Candy

If that salty tub of popcorn has lost its charm for movie night, this guide will give your homemade snacks a little more jiggle.

Step 1: Stir in gelatin Mix your favorite flavor gelatin and the unflavored stuff with the cold water in the measuring cup, a little at a time, stirring constantly to prevent clumping.
Step 2: Rest Allow the mixture to rest for at least 10 minutes so the gelatin has time to absorb the water.
Step 3: Melt gelatin mixture Melt the gelatin mixture by placing the measuring cup in a pot of simmering water and stirring the mixture until it melts.
TIP: Add a pinch of powdered Vitamin C to make the gummies sour.
Step 4: Fill molds Fill your silicone mold with the gelatin using a large syringe or a turkey baster for easy and even filling.
Step 5: Cool candy Let your gummies cool to room temperature on a counter or table, or put them in the refrigerator if you're in a hurry.
Step 6: Peel back mold Peel back the mold to release your gummy candy. No oil or spray is needed. Enjoy immediately or pack them away for later.
FACT: The gummy bear was invented in 1922.
