Equipment

  • Gummy Worms Mold

Ingredients

  • ¼-1/3 cup Unflavoured Gelatin Powder
  • ¾ cup Pickle brine
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Food Colouring Optional

Instructions

  • In a small pot, whisk together gelatin powder and pickle brine. Add honey, whisk until honey dissolves a bit.
  • Heat mixture over medium heat, until gelatin is completely dissolved and mixture is smooth. Turn headsetting down to lowest setting
  • If you'd like to add food colouring, do so now.
  • Working quickly, use eye dropper to transfer mixture to clean gummy molds.
  • Allow gummies to set - it'll take an hour or so at room temperature, or 10-15 minutes if refrigerated.
    I like to allow it to gel a bit - about 10 minutes - at room temperature before chilling. It lowers the chances of a messy spill when transferring to the fridge!
  • Once set, pop candies out of the mold and transfer to an airtight container or zipper baggie.

Notes

Try to use these within a few days.
If you don't have gummy molds, you can just pour the whole batch into a 9x13 pan, cutting into squares when set.  Alternatively, silicone mini muffin pans work great!
