Hi Bold Bakers! Let us know in the comments, what else would you like us to solve and test in our test kitchen?

[@camilleeberlin0618]

So excited to try these!!!

[@GemmaStafford]

Hope you enjoy these!

[@BamitekoMartins]

Thanks for sharing your baking tips

[@GemmaStafford]

Glad you appreciate it!

[@L70s]

Like when making gum drops, it was best to leave out uncovered at least a day to dry out before final coating and also not make on humid days.

[@GemmaStafford]

Thanks for sharing.

[@T1ktokVirals]

What do u use for final coating ?

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

I don't have to buy the gummy at the store thank to you guys much appreciated bless to your family's

[@GemmaStafford]

Go for it!

[@SeymourKitty]

I always whisk my dry gelatin powder into the hot liquid and cannabis oil and as long as I'm whisking non-stop I never get lumps and it always sits perfectly

[@susanjeffries5108]

Commercially, they use drying rooms to bring down the water activity of gummy products and to get them to the desired texture. Homemade gummies made this way will not have the shelf life of a commercially prepared product because of this, and that's also why the sugar dissolves so readily. I have played around with homemade gummy bears in the past, but haven't done it for ages, so it was fun to see this video to get me interested in trying to make my own again. It's not easy for home cooks to do if you're looking for something like you would get at the store, but you can still come up with fun treats!

[@GemmaStafford]

Thank you for sharing this here, Susan.

[@Dulcess]

Seems interesting and when I get around to trying this after buying some molds, until then I will continue to buy black forest organic gummy bears. 😋 But your look yummy and adorable ☺️

[@GemmaStafford]

I hope you'll give this, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-gummy-bears/#wprm-recipe-container-19170 a go.

[@cocoj126]

I'm disappointed that you didn't redo the recipe with less agar agar to show that half actually works. No proof that half is correct. It may need to be 1/4 of the amount. Not sure why you didn't follow thru.

[@alicesloanlaramore7764]

Why don't you try it and let us know 😊

[@a.b.richards6443]

Ive used agar agar. And so far 2tsp of agar to 1 cup of fruit juice is sufficient. If the juice is acidic like orange juice or orange juice blends then up the agar to 2.5 or 3tsp per 1cup of juice. I tried these combinations multiple times and have been very satisfied. Apple juice has worked the best....and no straining necessary after boiling. Hope this is helpful. My simple recipe is the following 1 cup fruit juice; 2tsp of agar agar and 1 tsp of honey. Bring to boil then let simmer for 5 min. Use a dropper and transfer to molds while liquid is hot. If the liquid starts to thicken reheat and continue transfer. Sets in 20min at room temperature. Can set in fridge for faster setting. ENJOY

[@iheworld134]

Gelatin n agar2 have different textures, its not gonna have the same result unfortunately, its just way too different...gelatin r a lot chewy n agar2 doesnt have that textures at all, maybe instead of agar2 u can try jelly but again its not gonna give the same result , the gap r way too far

[@sharonpallas944]

Gemma, Thanks for the gummy updates. I use gelatin sheets and not the powdered gelatin. Is it possible to subsitute 2 gelatin sheets for the powdered gelatin. I like working with the sheets and that is what I have on hand. I need bigger gummy molds the one I ordered was very tiny, but it came with a dropper to fill them.

[@GemmaStafford]

Yes, absolutely. One tablespoon of gelatin powder is equivalent to 4 sheets of gelatin. Hope this helps.

[@kathybray7156]

I got guumy bear mold last year at amazon ❤

[@frank2k40thegreat]

I've missed you vids I haven't watched you since I was 8 love the flatbread vid

[@GemmaStafford]

Glad to have you here!

[@greggoriii5729]

always bloom gelatin before adding. if gummy's are dissolving sugar, let air dry longer. sugar citric acid mix is personal preference, I use 1c sugar with 4tsp CA. not setting, make sure you get mixture to softball temp at minimum.

[@laurawilliamson888]

My kids have a citrus allergy. Do we need the lemon juice for a reaction and if so what else would work?

[@DiaDia18]

Very nice recipie Gemma! They looks amazing! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🍴

[@GemmaStafford]

I hope you get on well with it, Dia!

[@DiaDia18]

@@GemmaStafford Thanks Gemma! 🤩🤩🤩

[@sandragauder277]

Great problem solving Ami and Gemma....with back to school starting this recipe will make great gummed for their snack time....same with the fruit rollups ❗🤗😘❤🇨🇦👍

[@GemmaStafford]

Great idea!!

[@nikitacat62]

Great save , ty ❤

[@em_c1484]

Hi Gemma. Try using a dextrose equivalent of 35-55. Certain glucose syrups have different equivalents, some 20 which is low and some higher at above 55 - both not suitable for Gummy Bears. 35-55 is ideal. Best of luck, grà o bhaile 🇨🇮

[@GemmaStafford]

Thank you for sharing!

[@yenniFGHTR]

how do you make it the gum not soft but thick please

[@UnsterblichFujoshi]

Agar doesn't really need to go into the fridge, it sets at room temperature. The ratio is wrong lol It depends a lot on what you're making (the water content, the shape of it, the desired consistency) aaaaand some agar powder brands are bad. Could've used some more experimenting with this one.

[@GemmaStafford]

Thank you for sharing your insights.

[@kellyoconnor1035]

Hello! Thank you for showing us the Agar Agar option! XX

[@GemmaStafford]

Hope it helped, Kelly.

[@kellyoconnor1035]

@@GemmaStafford Yes!! ❤

[@LShettlesworth-dq6bx]

it would have been nice to do a taste and texture test also

[@KeithKreider]

Let the gummies stand for 2 days and lay flat for 1 day so they dry out. This will keep them from molding as fast and will allow them to coat better

[@GemmaStafford]

Thanks for sharing.

[@filomenacavallaro408]

Hi Gemma😊 I made these gummies last week with 400 ml of orange juice and 2 tsp of Agar Agar ( the recipe says so). I put it in the fridge (says for 2 hours) but they were not ready. Then I let these guys the hole night in the fridge but the result was that these were not gummy but a kind of gelatine 😡😭😭😭😭😭. I must try your recipe😉. Thank you for explain us all the technics.❤

[@GemmaStafford]

Go for it, Filomena. I hope you get on well with it. Get the recipe here, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/homemade-gummy-bears/#wprm-recipe-container-19170

[@tinastanfield944]

Mine are molding in a few days. How can I prevent this? They are kept in the fridge.

[@eduardomerino8098]

Does blooming the gummies make them firmer?

[@GemmaStafford]

It does make it more stable. Hope you'll give it a go.

[@kevinleong4467]

How do you bloom the gelatin?

[@GemmaStafford]

You will need to “bloom” the gelatine before you use it, so this means soaking the gelatine for 30 mins or more in 3 to 4 times its own weight of water, or other liquid and then heating it up over some form of double boiler or the microwave, until it forms a clear liquid.

[@CCoburn3]

I'm not a gummy addict anymore. But when I was in school, gummy bears and goldfish kept me awake during some really boring classes. I wish I had had some of your healthy gummies back then.

[@kimhollenbeck1308]

I would like to try making these gummy bears but I do not have a mold to make the gummy bears at home.Gemma,your recipe seems easy enough to make it Is your recipe on your website?

[@GemmaStafford]

Yes, it is. Go for it!

[@alicesloanlaramore7764]

I need help making yeast bread. I want the bread to be soft and stretchy with a good taste. Everytime i try the bread comes out heavy gummy or dry and crumbly with an overwhelming taste of yeast. 😢

[@GemmaStafford]

Hi Alice. Perhaps my article on common breadmaking mistakes, www.biggerbolderbaking.com/7-common-breadmaking-mistakes/ will help.

[@user-sv3ep4ub9x]

I coat my gummies in sugar in the centric acid and they don't dissolve. Although I do a lot different method than what you guys have done , so maybe that's why.

[@GemmaStafford]

Thank you for sharing.

[@bionicbunny3680]

Gummy bear look good gemma hope you have a good weekend.

[@GemmaStafford]

You too!

[@byronchandler5000]

Gemma, your gummy bears are just so adorable, and so are you, my lovely Irish friend. Is it possible to use raspberry flavoring for raspberry gummies?

[@GemmaStafford]

Thanks Byron. Yes, I think raspberry flavor is possible. Go ahead and give it a go.

[@c2bienaime]

Very amazing that you did test kitchen on the Grammy

[@GemmaStafford]

It's one of my favorite snacks and I would love for everyone to enjoy it like I do.

[@BUGt95.]

You don't want to do 1 for 1 with agar agar the texture will be 2 firm.

[@GemmaStafford]

Agreed!

[@anikaxmeisel]

Do you have a vegan recipe?

[@GemmaStafford]

Hi Anika. You can try using agar agar instead of gelatin to make it vegan.

[@LifeOfTheOutcast]

I'm seeing this by happenstance literally a day after I used the original reciple and mine didn't set lolol

[@safaktaner2853]

In a world where there is Turkish delight you have to be really silly to eat gummies! 1000 times more healthy and tasty!!!

[@GemmaStafford]

It's good to have choices 😊

[@danwebb6766]

You don't need "36 ingredients" to make proper gummies. You just need xanthan gum. You're welcome.

[@rjanthony5332]

The aw is way too high in this recipe. That's the issue with the sugar melting - you don't need 36 ingredients to solve this problem

[@GemmaStafford]

I updated the written recipe for this. You may want to give it another go. Get the link in the caption above for it. 🤗

[@desifoodforfamily5411]

👍 Delicious 💕 And 💕 tasty 💕 yummy 👍 recipe 👍💕💕💕 visit

[@GemmaStafford]

I'm delighted to hear that! Well done,you!

[@helenasequerra1111]

Blooming the gelatin ruined the recipe for me. I did it without blooming before and it worked perfectly. Waste of ingredients 😢
