fun eats: 4th of July Homemade Gummi Candy

Tuesday, June 26, 2012 21 Comments

 

4th Of July Homemade Gummi Candy #gummies #the4th #candy

 

These have been on my to-do list for what seems like forever…and I keep promising V we will make them…and she keeps asking me when we are going to make them!

Well, we FINALLY made them & they are yummo – sticky (well, before you slather them in cornstarch), but yummo :)  V calls them “boo gummies” – I call them “homemade gummi candy using blue Jell-O” :)

More importantly, said gummies are V approved and almost completely gone at this point!

We made these with a silicone star mold I got in the dollar section at good ol’ Target with the 4th of July stuff…you should head on over, they probably still have them…and buy two…hint hint…I have another tutorial coming later for the second mold ;) (You can also find them at Amazon)
.





V helped in picking out what color/flavor she wanted, dumping the water & the packets in the saucepan, stirring, and then of course eating :)

YAY!  Yummy gummies shaped like stars for the 4th! :)

Homemade Gummi Candy

These fun & nostalgic homemade gummies are sure to be a hit with all!

Ingredients

2 – 3oz. boxes of Jell-O
3 – 1/4 oz. packages of unflavored gelatin (they come in a 1 oz. box with 4 packs, each pack is 1/4 oz.)
1/2 cup cold water
silicone mold
cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Pour water into a small saucepan. Sprinkle the Jell-O and unflavored gelatin over the water; Stir. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  2. After 10 minutes, place saucepan over medium heat & stir until gelatin is dissolved, about 5 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat and let stand for 1 minute to cool slightly.
  4. Pour from saucepan into a heat-proof pourable container. Pour Jell-O mixture into mold.
  5. Allow to sit for 20 minutes to cool completely.
  6. Dust the backs of the gummies and a cutting board with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
  7. Peel gummies out of mold and onto the cutting board, covering them with cornstarch on the front & back (it will be tough to pry these out of the mold, but you will not hurt the shape of the gummi by doing so).
  8. Store in a sealed container at room temperature – these do not need to be refrigerated.
  9. Eat yummy gummies!

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
