  • Chill filled molds in refrigerator until hardened. (This should only take around 15-20 minutes.)
  • Once set, peel gummy candies from molds and enjoy!
  • Store gummies in the fridge in an airtight container, or leave them in the molds and cover until ready to remove and enjoy. Lasts up to 7 days.
  • Yields 40 gummy worms. (Filled 2 of my silicone gummy molds.)
