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!

Meanwhile… this is my night ❤️💕Prepping v Meanwhile… this is my night ❤️💕Prepping valentines for my co-op kiddos, for tomorrow.

Speaking of yummy breakfast. Let’s forget the Speaking of yummy breakfast. 

Let’s forget the kiddos & their fruit platter for a moment shall we 😉

This is my EVERYDAY breakfast - my strawberry chocolate protein shake! 

🍓🍫After working on several protein shake concoctions for the past year… trying to find the best tasting/best macro ratio/least calorie one for me - this is it. I have this every morning after my workout… literally every morning. I will also make it with the Afterburn vanilla plant based (the whey based one is too much for my stomach) protein powder too, but I prefer the chocolate. 

(swipe for ingredients/macro breakdown)

Now, protein shakes… yeah I know, ewwww, right?! Noooooo!  Guys, before I started at Burn, almost a year ago, the last protein shake I had was over 20 years ago (when I was fitness crazed twenty something) - I HATED protein shakes.  They were sooooo gross that I used to hold my nose to drink them quickly… they were nasty. #nojoke #iheldmynose

Friends, protein powder has come a looooonnnnng way in 20 years!  Now I don’t know about other protein powders out there, I looked around a little, but I couldn’t find anything comparable to the calorie/macro ratio that Afterburn has.  #notanad #myhonesttogoodnessopinion
Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗 I love doing little Kiddos breakfast today. 🤗

I love doing little boards like this for the kids meals - you get the most bang for your buck. Plus, it looks more fancy & complicated than it really is - it’s really just fruit placed on a plate with yogurt & waffles. 

They each get their own board. #becausesiblings #noexplanationneeded 

I only got a pic of one plate because T started devouring it before I could snap a pic 😆

Their boards today have:
🍓🫐 🍌
strawberries
raspberries 
blueberries 
bananas
satsuma mandarins
clementines
blackberries
blood oranges
yogurt
blueberry waffles 

I give them a fork and a spoon - the yogurt can be used for dipping or just eaten as yogurt.
The depth & complexity of a middle schooler. 🧐🤔💭

Going from goofy monikers, chatting about Bieber, disagreeing with friends over who liked pale mint green first, spending forever with her cousins picking out lipstick…. ➡️➡️➡️ to spending HER Christmas money at Barnes & Noble last night on these two books: Like The Willow Tree/Lowry - about the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic & The Bridge Home/Venkatraman - about homeless children and poverty in India 🤯 📖📚👩🏼‍🏫
