SOUR GUMMY CANDIES



Sour Gummy Candies image

These mouth-puckering gummy candies can be made in any flavor you desire, but I would recommend trying to match complimentary Jell-O and Kool-Aid flavors. The Kool-Aid can be increased to a full package if an extra sour flavor is desired. To make a sugar-free candy, substitute sugar-free Jell-O.

Time 20m

Yield 1 Batch

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 (1/4 ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
2 (3 ounce) packages Jello gelatin, any flavor
1 cup water
0.5 (1/8 ounce) package Kool-Aid, any flavor

Steps:

  • Prepare an 8x8-inch pan by spraying it lightly with cooking spray. Alternately, you can use sprayed candy molds to make gummy shapes.
  • Place the water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
  • Immediately add the Jell-O, Kool-Aid, and gelatin and stir vigorously until it has all dissolved.
  • Pour the candy into the prepared pan, or spoon it into the prepared molds. Place in the refrigerator to set for approximately 20 minutes.
  • Candy can be cut into worms, squares, or shapes using cookie cutters. You can roll in sugar or other half of Kool-aid for an extra sour kick.

Categories     Candy

Time 37m

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 ounces flavored gelatin
1 (1/4-ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup cold water
Optional: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon citric acid (for sour gummies)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Spray a paper towel with nonstick cooking spray , then rub it lightly around the bear cavities in the mold to coat them with a thin layer of oil.
  • In a small bowl, combine both gelatins and the cold water.
  • Whisk them together, then let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to soak up the water and soften.
  • Place the bowl in the microwave and cook for 30 seconds, then whisk well. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. The sugar should be dissolved and the mixture well mixed. If not, microwave for another 10 to 15 seconds until the sugar and gelatin are completely dissolved. Pour it into a measuring cup with a spout.
  • Pour the gelatin into the cavities. Alternatively, you can use a food-grade dropper to drop the mixture more precisely into the molds.
  • Place the candy mold in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to set the gelatin.
  • To remove the bears, carefully push the sides away from the edges and toward the center, then pull them up and out of the molds. Repeat with other colors and flavors of gelatin, as desired.
  • Serve and enjoy.

EXTREME SOUR GUMMIES



Extreme Sour Gummies image

Pucker up for these sweet and sour gummies, which pack some serious punch thanks to a secret ingredient -- citric acid -- which you can buy online or at any specialty baking store. Just make sure to enjoy them immediately once you've tossed them in the sugar mixture or they will become sticky.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h15m

Yield 100 gummy bears

Number Of Ingredients 5

Nonstick cooking spray, for the molds
One 3-ounce box flavored gelatin powder, such as Jell-O
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin powder
2 tablespoons citric acid
1/4 cup sugar

Steps:

  • Put two 50-count silicone gummy bear molds on a baking sheet and lightly spray with nonstick spray.
  • Combine the flavored gelatin powder, unflavored gelatin powder, 1 tablespoon of the citric acid and 1/2 cup cold water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat, stirring frequently so that the sugar does not stick to the bottom of the saucepan, about 4 minutes. Do not boil.
  • Pour the mixture into a small liquid measuring cup. With a spoon, skim off any bubbles that have formed. Carefully fill the molds and gently shake to ensure the mixture settles to the bottom. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
  • Combine the sugar and remaining 1 tablespoon citric acid in a medium bowl. Carefully remove the gummy bears from the molds and toss in the sugar mixture. Enjoy immediately.
