Candy Corn Mini Gelatin Gummy Molds
If you like retro vibes and candy corn, this is the Halloween recipe for you! Personally, I’ve always liked candy corn (I know, a controversial opinion), but it’s well known to be full of not-so-great ingredients. Food dyes, artificial sugar, and more.
This take on candy corn gummies is made in a mini gelatin mold! It’s simple to make, and is made with all real ingredients.
The Ingredients
- Coconut milk. This is used to make the white layer.
- Carrot Juice. Carrot juice is used for the orange layer.
- Mango and Orange Juice. These are used to make the yellow layer.
- Gelatin. Gelatin is a main ingredient in this recipe and is important to have these molds set! Collagen cannot be used in place of gelatin.
- Honey. This is used as an added sweetener. You can use other sweeteners, but just be mindful that they don’t change the color.
The Tools
- The Gelatin Mold. It’s important to note that all of the measurements in this recipe are based off of this exact gelatin mold. If you use another mold, it may be a bit uneven. However, as long as you use equal parts of all 3 layers, it should still work!
- Teaspoon measuring tool. I find this to be the easiest way to equally pour the layers into the mold!
- Blender and pot.
Can you make these without any sweetener?
I highly suggest keeping in a bit of honey, or another sweetener of your choice!
How do you serve these?
Serve them chilled and enjoy with a fork!
