[@WhatToCookToday]

This worked perfectly. O let them chill for 3 hours on the fridge before drying I used maltose instead of corn syrup because thats what I have. It's true that the longer you air dry at room temperature, the firmer and chewier they get. Day 5 texture is really firm and chewy like haribo gummy bear

[@missshai8611]

Can I cover these when storing in room temperature? to avoid dust or anything touching the bears?

[@lilyleung2237]

Yes, waiting for a response for that to. I plan to do it. But hope it won't stick to the parchment laid on top if it. I also hope that it can still dry out when covered.

[@raven-chan2071]

@@lilyleung2237 no, if it dries out it has to be uncovered. also parchment paper is made so that things dont get stuck to it. If you pull it off gently it will be fine

[@lilyleung2237]

I decided to cover it with another baking sheet partially opened on a corner, I tried parchment too but it made the parchment a bit moist. Gummy worms started to mold after a week. Had to throw leftovers out. I guess made too many at one time. But after 3 days you can see that it dries and gets more chewy and you can stretch and press and it will feel like a gummy. Excellent recipe. I think you can start eating them once it's made or next day. Children don't need to have that chewy stretchy texture to enjoy it. Plus will have a hard time waiting 5 days to eat it. Plus, you don't want waste once it starts to mold.

[@CREATINGEVERYTHING]

If you left it uncovered, it won't get mold.

[@lilyleung2237]

I don't understand the part with adding the flavored jello. I mix 10 g gelatine powder with 120 ml water. Let it bloom . Then put into a pot and heat up but don't boil. When do I add the flavored gelatine? Or after the unflavored gelatine blooms in the cold water , pour into the pot , then add the flavored gelatine and heat up. I can leave out the citric acid. Then cool off and then drop liquid into the molds, refrigerate 30 mins. Then pop out and leave on parchment paper for 5 days?

[@CREATINGEVERYTHING]

In a pan, combine all the ingredients except citric acid. Turn on the stove over medium heat until mixture dissolve. Remove from heat then add citric acid. Transfer into gummy bear mold and refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm. Leave in a room temperature for 5 days.

[@lilyleung2237]

I just made them today. Thank you confirming the steps. Now, I am hoping in 5 days it will be like the real thing. The texture after 30 minutes felt promising. They lifted off the molds easily but I decided for the second batch to wait 45 minutes. Thus longer wait time really helped The features of the gummy Bears face stand out. The imprint was sharper.

Is there a healthier low/no sugar substitute for sugar syrup or the corn syrup used?

healthy? thats not the point bro

[@ravenserpent31]

You could probably try the "sweetener" alternatives that use the same measurements of sugar, as for the corn syrup, I believe it's main purpose is to stop the crystallization of the sugar, not sure if it provides other purpose. I am also not aware if the sweeteners/ fake sugars crystallize like real sugar, however, if sweetener does not crystallize- I imagine you can skip the corn syrup all together.

@@CREATINGEVERYTHING thank you very much! Do you know what ingredient is responsible for the chewyness? Or is it a temperature thing? If there was a step you could take to increase chewyness what would it be? Also I noticed in other responses you mentioned the gums could last up to a month, afterwards will they begun to separate and get a syrup texture or go hard and stale? Any more feedback you could give me is greatly appreciated! I made my first batch last night with 1 package of gelatin powder (15g) so I wasn't too far off I guess. didn't have a mold so I made dots on parchment paper, they are stretchy this morning but still soft, my heart desires more chew... haha any advice?

[@CREATINGEVERYTHING]

Leaving it to dry in a room temperature for 5 days will make it chewy. You can also dry it longer than 5 days, turning each side every other day. It won't get into syrup texture nor it will stale after a month. No worries. It will become more chewy.

[@CREATINGEVERYTHING]

Make sure you also followed the exact measurements of the ingredients. The more concentrated, the harder it gets. Gummy candies left sitting around will lose water due to evaporation, which makes the gelatin more concentrated and thus harder, and if you watch carefully you'll notice that the moisture loss also makes the gummies shrink. To soften them, you need to rehydrate them. Toss them in a bowl of hot or warm water (don't use cold water - gelatin is only soluble in warmer water) until they reach the desired consistency - usually around 20 minutes or so. The longer you leave them in the water, the more water they'll absorb, the more they'll grow and the softer they'll get.

[@SartikaSy]
