Gummy Bear Bark Recipes

HARIBO GOLD-BEARS GUMMY CANDY HACK

Steps:

• Combine Jell-O, unflavored gelatin and citric acid in a medium microwave-safe bowl and stir to combine.
• Add the corn syrup and water, and stir gently with a soup spoon until all of the ingredients are blended together. Stirring too fast may add air bubbles to the mixture, so keep it slow and sweeping. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes so that the gelatin can bloom.
• Stir the candy syrup gently again, then microwave it on high for 30 seconds. Stir it again, then zap it for another 15 seconds. Repeat heating it for 15 seconds 3 more times for a total heating time of 1 1/2 minutes. If air bubbles begin to form on the surface of the gelatin, stop heating and stir gently. You don't want any bubbles in the syrup if you can help it. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. Give the solution a gentle stir every couple of minutes and you should see it become clearer over time.
• Spray the bear molds lightly with oil spray.
• Pour the candy syrup into a measuring cup with a spout, then carefully pour the liquid into the bear molds. Don't fill each bear all of the way to the top. Leave a little room in each mold.
• Let the candy sit for 30 minutes, then put the molds into your refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
• When the candy is firm push each piece out of the molds and arrange them on a baking sheet or in a large storage container so that they are each standing upright. Let them sit this way for 48 hours, then lay them on their backs for 24 hours. This process will help the bears dehydrate so that they are chewy like the originals. Depending on your climate, your gummy bears may have shrunken enough after 72 hours. If not, leave them out for another day or two, until they are chewy. Toss them around every so often as they dry out. When they are chewy enough for you, seal them up in an air-tight covered container or zip-top bag. Keep them stored in a sealed container and they should last for a couple weeks.

HOW TO MAKE HEALTHY GUMMIES

Steps:

• Add fruit juice to a sauce pan, and sprinkle with gelatin. Allow to "bloom" for 5 minutes.
• Turn to medium-heat, and stir slowly with whisk until gelatin begins to dissolve.
• Add in honey until fully dissolved.
• Remove from heat, and fill gummy molds with dropper.
• Place in the freezer for 10 minutes, pop out gummies, and refill. Repeat this process until there is no remaining juice. *note: if gummy mixture hardens before next batch, simply reheat on low until melted, and continue the process.
• Store in fridge, and enjoy!

GUMMY BEARS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a saucepan until the mixture resembles playdough.
• Place the pan over low heat and stir until melted.
• Once completely melted, pour into plastic candy molds and place in freezer for 5 min.
• When very firm, remove from molds.

HOMEMADE GUMMY BEARS

Steps:

• Combine the fruit juice or lemonade, gelatin and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the gelatin and sugar dissolve completely, about 1 minute (make sure there is no undissolved sugar stuck to the bottom of the saucepan). If any foam forms while stirring, skim it off and discard. Transfer the mixture to a small liquid measuring cup.
• Put the gummy bear molds on a flat surface and slowly fill each cup to the top. Give each mold a small shake to ensure the mixture settles to the bottom. Refrigerate until the mixture sets, about 10 minutes. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

HOMEMADE GUMMY BEARS

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.

CHOCOLATE COVERED GUMMY BEARS

Steps:

• Place 1 cup chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 second intervals, 1 minute total until chocolate is melted. Be careful to not over heat as this could cause the bears to melt.
• Stir chocolate, while adding 1 tbsp heavy cream. Mix until smooth.
• Place a gummy bear foot first on a toothpick, then dip into the chocolate, while twisting. Once the bear is completely covered, remove from chocolate and place on parchment paper or wax paper.
• After each of the bears have been dipped, move them to the freezer for rapid cooling. This will help the chocolate harden. Serve and Enjoy!

GUMMY BEAR RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine gelatin, and water (or flavored liquid) in a heatproof container. Stir gently to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes to give your gelatin time to bloom.
• Combine together the corn syrup, sugar, and sorbitol in a medium saucepan. Stir gently to combine. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
• Once simmering, wash down the sides of the pan with water using a clean pastry brush to make sure any stray grains of sugar is dissolved fully.
• Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in your citric acid and gelatin mixture with a spatula until gelatin is melted.
• Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes and allow the mixture to clear and foam to collect at the top. After 10 minutes the foam should be able to be easily scooped off the surface with a spoon.
• Divide your mixture by straining the liquid into three bowls and add in any coloring or candy flavorings that you want. I used pink, blue and yellow food coloring.
• Spray your molds lightly with some oil and wipe out the excess. Pour your mixture into your molds.
• Let your gummy bears chill in the fridge for 6 hours until the bears are set but 24 hours is best. Once they are set they can be stored at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE COVERED GUMMY BEARS RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt two squares of chocolate bark (from the 24-ounce package). You can do this in the microwave. Just place 2 squares in a microwave-safe bowl and heat on high for 1 minute. If the bark is not completely melted, return to the microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds. Stir until smooth.
• Spritz a piece of waxed or parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place gummy bears, 3 or 4 at a time, in melted chocolate. Using a spoon, turn the bears in the chocolate until they are coated with chocolate. Use the spoon to gently place the bear on the waxed or parchment paper.
• Allow the chocolate to harden. This can be done on the counter or the bears can be placed in the fridge for around 5-10 minutes.

HOW TO MAKE WEED GUMMIES

Steps:

• Add the water, cannabis-infused coconut oil, and sunflower/soy lecithin to the pot and place on the stove on low heat.
• Stir until the oil is completely melted and the mixture has a consistent texture. Add in the flavored and unflavored gelatin, stirring constantly.
• Keep on low heat for 10-15 min until the gelatin is dissolved, making sure to constantly whisk the mixture and make sure it does not come to a boil.
• Using a fine-mesh strainer, strain mixture to catch any lumps of undissolved gelatin and impurities.
• Use a dropper to fill the gummy molds one by one, and do so quickly so that the liquid doesn't cool and begin to separate. Make sure to double back and stir the rest of the mixture frequently so it doesn't harden.
• Once the mold is full, put the gummies in the freezer for 20-25 minutes.

GUMMY BEAR BARK

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the graham crackers on top so that they're side-by-side.
• Heat the butter, sugar and salt in a saucepan over medium heat, whisking. Once it starts to bubble, heat for 3 more minutes, then carefully pour over the graham crackers, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Bake until bubbling, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle on the yogurt chips; let them melt for a few minutes. Use an offset spatula to spread them evenly all over. Add a few drops of food coloring, if desired, and swirl it around to get a marbled effect. Scatter on the gummy bears, a pinch of flaky salt and sprinkles, if using. Let set in the fridge until firm, 1 hour or up to overnight, then cut or break into pieces. Enjoy!
