How to Make Gummy Bears

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, ¼ cup water, and 1 packet (2.25g) unflavored gelatin.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  3. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) on a candy thermometer. This takes about 5-7 minutes; be patient and keep stirring!
  4. Remove from heat and carefully stir in 1 teaspoon of your choice of flavoring extract (vanilla, lemon, etc.) and a few drops of food coloring (optional).
  5. Immediately pour the mixture into silicone gummy bear molds. If using plastic molds, lightly grease them with cooking spray.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  7. Once firm, gently pop the gummy bears out of the molds and enjoy!
