Gummy Bears
3 ounces flavored gelatin (do not use sugar-free)
1 (1/4-ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
1/3 cup water (cold)
Optional: 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon citric acid (for sour gummies)
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.
Microwave the bowl for 30 seconds, then whisk well. Microwave for another 30 seconds and stir. Repeat at 15 seconds at a stretch until mixture is clear.
Use eye dropper, squeeze bottle, or measuring cup with a spout to transfer to silicone molds.
Allow to harden in a refrigerator for at least 30 min before removing.
