Well other than the challenge of finding diversity in the candy molds everything else was ridiculously easy to make. I even used this video tutorial guide on how to make gummy bears: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbAQFkURb2w but I think the measurements were off. It required only 1/3 cup of water for the needed gelatin packets but I ended up adding an additional 1/3 cup of water.
It was much better after the additional water was poured because that powdered gelatin really absorbed the water very quickly! If you have children or if you are just a big kid at heart like me than I know you will really think these are very simple and fun to make. It was a really fun way to spend my evening but I do want to let you know that they are more like jello jigglers than they are gummy bears. Did I eat them anyway? Yes. But when I'm in the mood for gummy candy will I make these again? I doubt it but I still stand by the fact that they were worth trying.
Ingredients:* 2/3 cups of Water
* 2 packets of 1/4 oz Unflavored Gelatin
* 1 packet of 3 oz Flavored Gelatin (Strawberry)
Cooking Directions:
In a small sauce pan add the water.
Then slowly add the 2 packets of unflavored gelatin.
Then slowly add the flavored gelatin.

| If it looks like this add more water! |
Let the mixture sit for roughly 10 minutes before transferring the sauce pan to the stove.
Over medium heat stir the mix until the gelatin is completely dissolved and about the consistency of syrup.
Pour the mixture in a measuring cup that has a lip that can pour easily.
Pour the gelatin mixture into the candy mold.
Let sit for about 20 minutes or until the consistency and texture is what you know to be gummy candy.
