Ingredients
For each colour gummy bear (approximately two trays of gummy bears)
- 1 x 85g box of jelly (I chose Aeroplane Natural Flavoured Jelly)
- 1 tablespoon of powdered gelatin
- ½ cup of water
Method
1. Pour the water into a small saucepan on low heat.
2. Add the jelly crystals and the added tablespoon of gelatin. Mix until dissolved and then remove from the heat.
3. Place your gummy bear moulds on a tray so it’s easy to move to the fridge without spilling.
4. Using a dropper, fill your gummy bear moulds.
5. Place them in the fridge for an hour to set properly before taking them out of the mould.
6. Repeat the above steps for each different colour gummy bear!
7. Keep your freshly made gummy bears in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, though we doubt they’ll last that long before they’re gobbled up!
What do you think? Will you be giving homemade gummy bears a try? They’re a great activity for the kids to help with not to mention exercising those fine motor skills with the dropper!
