DIY Gummy Snacks

I bet you didn't know you could make your own homemade Gummies.   We used a mini teacake pan and a couple of chocolate molds to make ours, but the options are practically endless so get creative and have fun making all kinds of shapes.  

The mixture doesn't take long to make, but plan ahead. Once the molds are filled, they'll need to rest at room temperature for 5-6 hours before the candies can be unmolded. 

If any bubbles form, just use a spoon to remove them.

Notes

• I used this metal teacake pan and these and candy molds.  

• Feel free to use any shape candy, chocolate, soap molds (obviously, soap molds that have never been used to make soap).  

• There is no need to coat the molds with nonstick spray before filling.
