Gummy Worm Recipe

Begin by placing the silicone molds on a baking tray. This makes it easier to transport them into the fridge. Also, make sure you have a flat area in your fridge to place the gummy worms once they're poured into the molds.

Make each flavor separately. Bring 1/3 cup fruit juice, 2 Tbsp of honey, and 2 tsp of either stevia sweetener or granulated sugar to barely a simmer over medium-high heat in a small saucepan or pot while stirring occasionally with gentle motions, rubber spatula is good. Remove from heat as soon as the mixture begins to bubble a tiny bit.

Set aside to cool for a couple of minutes. It should still be warm enough to melt the gelatin, but not hot enough to weaken the setting power of the gelatin.

In a small container or bowl, bloom the unflavored gelatin by mixing together 2 1/2 tsp of gelatin with 1 Tbsp of water until the gelatin is fully dissolved. The mixture should become quite thick as you stir it.

As soon as the gelatin and water are fully mixed together, add it to the slightly cooled juice mixture. Mix in gently with rubber spatula to minimize air bubbles and froth.

If the gelatin sits it can firm up and become difficult to mix in. If this happens, don't worry. It should still be able to dissolve into the juice mixture, but it will take longer to melt/dissolve fully. Make sure the gelatin is fully dissolved before filling the molds, or else tiny bits of gelatin can clog up the eye dropper.

Use an eye-dropper (they come with most small silicone molds, or you can order them here) to carefully fill the silicone molds. Be sure to do this as soon as the gelatin is fully mixed into the juice mixture. If you let it sit and continue to cool, the mixture will start to set. Transferring to the fridge becomes easier if you let them sit on the countertop to set for at least 10 minutes or so.

Carefully place the molds in the fridge for at least 2 hours, then pop them out of the molds and enjoy! But the longer they sit in the fridge, the firmer they'll get. Also can leave out overnight on the counter top to dehydrate which will speed up the firming process.

Make as many batches as you want with different flavors of juice. You can also combine two different juices! I've made these using lemonade, apple, orange, grapefruit, pomegranate, black cherry, and cranberry juice and have loved them all.

Leftover gummy worms can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
