Fruit Nerdy Nummies Gummies
My elementary school teacher asked me what my favorite subject in school was and I answered "Snack time!". Whether it's before, during, or after school, it's always a good time to enjoy these fruity snacks. Their shape can be changed using any silicone mold you'd like; I used the one from my baking line.
Yield: Makes 10 dozen gummies

Let's get started!
Grape Gummies

- Remove from heat and whisk in citric acid until completely dissolved. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Using a squeeze bottle or dropper, fill each mold cavity.
