  1. I have been trying to make a really good salt water taffy that is the same as the stuff I had as a kid. All the stuff I have found so far suck. Can you try to crack that one? I think your gummies look great. I am definitely going to try your recipe.

  2. Kind of the point in which so many people are trying to make these at home, is to specifically get away from sugar, chemical colors and flavorings. I've made them using gelatin, acacia, citric acid, my own monk fruit/stevia blend, and real fruit extracts. Yes, they start out a bit more "jelly-like" fresh out of the mold… but the trick is to remove them from the molds with avocado or coconut oil on your hands, and you need to own a food dehydrator. They get that chewiness from the controlled moisture loss. Sure, it's a slight compromise… but I know my kids are getting not only fiber, collagen but also the great benefits of antioxidants, from say, dehydrated blueberry extract. And it's not spiking their blood sugar, they don't get hyper after eating them either.

  3. Using an inverted sugar without using a mold inhibitor will cause you to have to store them in the freezer. For shelf stability you don’t add the glucose or other variant as it does grow mold quickly.

  4. 4:01 this is actually another form of gummy candy and it's called kohakutou, where you leave the gummy for a week which is what makes it crystalize and ending up with a crunchy outer layer but gummy and chewy in the inside 🙂

  5. I just attempted your recipe and it yielded about 82 Gummies. 73 regular gummy bears, I used a Evangelion themed ice tray as molds and it got me about 5 mini gummies and then I used the rest of the mix to make 4 gummy worms. I used Pomegranate, Cranberry, Mango and Watermelon flavoring for them. I'm letting them sit over night in the refrigerator and I'll update my thoughts when I taste them!

  6. Silly question. Is the cost to make them yourself less than the purchase of them? Gummies off the shelf are pretty expensive. I would gladly make them if they are less costly. Has anyone done the homework for DYI cost for the ingredients?

  7. None of the gummy bear videos on yt give a clear recipe that can multiplied or divided down. No indication of how much gelatin is needed. No indication of how many gummie bears it makes. This video along with the rest of em are useless without an idea of the measurements I’m just throwin shit into a bowl
