fun machine at <em> *cough* <\/em>WalMart<em> *cough*<\/em> .\u00a0\u00a0 Would I admit that I shop at WalMart if I didn&#8217;t have to?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This machine looked really cool when I saw it on the shelf (thanks to Paul for pointing me to it!).\u00a0 I knew that if I had kids at home, I would love to hear an unbiased review of it before I committed to purchasing it.\u00a0 So here it is . . . it is fun, bright, and easy to use, but if you already have silicone moulds at home, or know where to find them, you can save yourself $29 and use them and the microwave.<\/p>\n<p>Making gummies is super easy, all you need is gelatin, Jello and water!\u00a0 If you&#8217;re so inclined, so can replace the water in the mixture with fruit juice for an extra fruity flavour.\u00a0 I believe that the required amount of unflavoured gelatin powder creates the perfect chewiness, but if you find it too chewy, you can cut back one package.\u00a0\u00a0 The molds that are included in the machine are for a giant gummy bear, gummy worms, gummy fish and other gummy bears.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0I hope you enjoy this review and making your own gummy bears!!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"

to warm until the gelatin has been dissolved in the water. \u00a0This took about 10 minutes when I was using the machine.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>At this point the mixture will be hot. \u00a0Carefully pour the liquid into the gummy candy molds (worms, fish and bears).\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Allow to set completely, which took 15 minutes for mine.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>To remove gummy&#8217;s from the silicone mould, gently peel the gummy&#8217;s away from the sides of the mold.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Store in a sealed container for 2-3 days. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a
