Make Your Own Gummi Bears
That is right - Make those nice cute little treats for yourself. You will not believe how easy they are. I have not made these for myself, but was amazed that they could be made with very few ingredients. The only thing you really need to go buy is a candy mold. I am sure that cannot be too hard to find. Heck, it does not have to be bears, you can make whatever you want for any themed party you are having. This can actually be fun!
This would be a great activity with kids!
1 small box Jello with sugar (any flavor)
7 envelopes unflavored gelatin
1/2 cup water
Mix in a saucepan until the mixture resembles playdough.
Place pan over low heat and stir until melted.
Once completely melted, pour into plastic candy molds,
and place in the freezer for 5 min.
When very firm, take out of molds and eat! Have fun!
I remember when gummy worms came on the scene - I got package in my stocking at Christmas time - I did not know what they were and I tossed them in my tackle box to use for fishing. It was a good place for them as when I found out that you eat them - I did not like them. Neither did the fish, I never caught any when I used them for bait.
Thanks for your blog !This is good bear
