I've always wanted to make my own homemade gummies. When I finally got around to it I realized it's so much easier than I thought and takes very little time. Then I thought it'd be fun to make a video of how to make them! Ok a couple thing...
- I know I'm a dork, please excuse me in the video.
- I know my head is cut off in the last part, I would have re-filmed it but I'd gotten gummy happy and there where no more gummies to peel...
- To sum up...I'm a dork and my film isn't the best, but you will get the general idea!
If you can't see the video, go HERE to watch.
What you need:
- 1 pk. flavored gelatin
- 3 pk. unflavored gelatin
- 1/3 c. + little bit more water
Mix the ingredients together slowly. Make sure all the ingredients are mixed together well and there are no lumps. Let it sit for 10 minutes after mixing. Put it on a saucepan on the stove and warm until melted begin careful not to burn it and stirring frequently. When it's melted, pour it into the molds, containers, or whatever you have. Let it sit in the freezer or fridge for 10 minutes. Peel the gummies off the molds after you take them back out of the fridge.
If you aren't a fan of flavored gelatin you can skip that and the water and add 1/3 fruit juice instead!
These would make a good part of a gift! You could use them in stockings or you could stick them in a gift basket or just make up a bunch of different flavors and make them the entire gift!

I don't see a dork, I see a sweet young woman who has a real heart to help others through her blog. You have such great ideas and it is a joy to come here everyday and see what you are up to.
Thanks ladies:) I'm not much of an on camera person but I like to "talk" to my readers.
I'm hoping to get another video up tomorrow if I get the time. The cooking ones are kinda fun:)
I just made some gummies in daisy molds and they came out perfect!! Thanks so much for the recipe and video. I never knew making gummies could be so simple and so much fun! I’m making some for Mother’s Day gifts!
This looks like fun! Chance would love to do this! Thanks for the recipe!
What a great idea and recipe! Thank you, I shared with my readers over at the ranch! Hope you can visit us – http://www.ragingbearranch.com
What a wonderful demostration you did. Look forward to seeing more. Never knew how to make these and you made it look so easy. Thank you.Look forward to making them with my little grand daughters and making them for Christmas for gift baskets. Kudos to you for doing this site and doing the video.
Hi! My oldest daughter & I made these tonight while we were watching Little House on the Prairie (Season 1) thanks to Netflix. Anyway, they were a hit! We did cherry ones. I used the cylinder ice trays I had already for my water bottle ice & they worked fine. The gummies are a little sticky on top, but not too bad. How do you store them? In the fridge, on the counter, etc? Thanks so much for the recipe!
I keep them in the fridge:)
It was nice to hear your voice. My little man would love these. A new dessert to make around holidays!!
Have you ever tried sugar free gelatin in this recipe? I love gummies and will eat way to many, so lower calorie is good:)
I have not yet but if you try it let us know how it goes!
Ok, I don’t think I would recommend the sugar free version…. something was just not quite right. Do yours have bubbly bottoms?
Yes they did but I think I did the same as I do with some bread recipes and I tapped the bubbles out before I cooled them.
Thanks for the recipe- my kids will love to make this with me!
I made these after reading and watching Merissa’s video and they are greaat! best when fresh in my opinion
hi is there a way to make this recipe with a subsitute for
1 pk. flavored gelatin
3 pk. unflavored gelatin
where i live we do not have the gelatin stuff
thank you
Unfortunately this recipe requires gelatin. I know it’s sold at Walmart but sometimes it’s hard to find so you might have to ask. Otherwise you could order it on Amazon.
Yummy! Just made these. So easy and tasty! Thanks for the recipe! Question for you, have you ever made them with fruit juice instead of a package of jello? How did they turn out? And I’m wondering if you need to add more gelatin if you use fruit juice, since you don’t have the gelatin from the jello box??
You can use this recipe: http://www.littlehouseliving.com/easy-fruit-juice-gelatin-no-sugar.html and just double the amount of gelatin used to make gummies!
And P.S. I just found a site for homemade gummies, and she brushed them with cornstarch after they were done to prevent them from sticking to each other. Maybe I’ll try this and see how it works.
