Sugar Free Gummy Candy (Bears, worms, etc.)

This isn't perfected yet, but I don't want to lose it.  Here's where we're at with the development:


Sugar Free Gummy Candy (Bears, worms, etc.)


1 small package sugar-free flavored gelatin mix
2 packets unflavored gelatin (Knox)
1/3 cup water


Put all of the ingredients in a small sauce pan and allow them to rest for about 5 to 10 minutes.  Then, over medium heat, dissolve the mixture, stirring while heating it.  Carefully pour the gelatin mixture into ice cube trays or candy molds and allow them to set up for about 20 minutes.


Once the candy has set up, put 2 tablespoons Ideal Confectionery into a zippered bag.  Shake each piece of candy in the bag to coat it.  Place the coated candies on a plates and serve.  (They were gone before I got that far!)


I found the Ideal Confectionery made the candies taste a lot better, but also made them rather "melty."  I was hoping for something more like Aplets (Applets) and Cotlets.  It's a work in process and we'll keep trying!

We did a re-visit and made some sugar-free Applets (Aplets) Candies. I like the powdery coating a lot better with the second recipe. I've put a link to it in the recipe above in the word Applets.
Enjoy!
