I tried several times to make this recipe. By the time it reaches 130 degrees F. it would be 30 minutes in and burned. I tried it on low, med-low, med, and medium high. The results were all the same.

I made the gum drops with my 2 granddaughters ages 7 and 9 we split it in two so they each could have a color and flavor. They had so much fun deciding what color to make their half and what flavor. We used silicone molds of little animals and 1 with shapes. They had fun coating them in the sugar. Was just a fun grandma project on hot days this summer when too hot to play outside . Of course I did all the stirring and stove use but they watched so not to get any burnt fingers. They added coloring and flavor. Their part was sugar coating them and of course eating them.

These gumdrops turned out wonderful!!! I used the Neon gel food coloring which made them bright and colorful… a little tip: I sprinkled sugar on the top of the gummies before taking them out of the mold then I sprinkled sugar as I was removing them out of the mold.. this prevented them from sticking to my fingers and each other….these gumdrops will be my go to for adding a little color and pop to entertaining.. thank you for sharing

In reply to Kelly. Possibly. The recipe doesn't call for that so it may have had an impact.

Rachel, why did my gummies turn out hard and grainy?? I’m so sad… Would 2tsp of sy lecithin have caused this?

Rachel, I make a nougat candy (Like Brachs used to make, and you bought in bulk) and they have gumdrops in them. I use gummy bears cut in half. But these homemade gummies would be perfect. To make the nougat you just melt together 500 g.. of mini marshmallows and 450 g. of white chocolate chips. in the microwave. Stir stir stir, then add in the gummies and stir some more. I don’t think I would roll the gummies in the sugar though because of a crunchy texture. Then just pour into a parchment lined 13 X 9 pan and put in the refrigerator to set up. I usually let sit overnight. That simple. Everyone loves them.

In reply to Craig. I don't want to answer this question. It's creepy. Please don't inject gumdrops into animals.

After the gumdrop mixture is heated, would it be thin enough to suck into a syringe and inject into a biological specimen?
