Unknown Gummy Bears Reviews Date of last review 9 Wed August 29, 2012 Recommended By Average Price Average Rating 89% of reviewers $3.79 8.3 Description: Ingredients: 1 package sugar free jello -- any flavor 6 packages gelatin powder, unsweetened -- unflavored 1/2 cup water -- cold How To Prepare: In a small saucepan, mix flavored and unflavored gelatin. Stir it up. Pour cold water in, stir with spatula until you have a gloppy-chunky blob, not unlike play-doh. Turn heat on medium, melt blob. Stir obsessively until melted. Pour into miniature bear molds. Stick in freezer for 10 minutes to cool. If you don't have miniature bear molds, do this: take the rack out of your toaster oven and put it on the counter. Drape a big sheet of aluminum foil over it. Cram the aluminum foil down into the gaps, leaving striplike molds. Presto! Gummy tapeworms. Yummy. Number of Servings: 1 Carbs per serving - include all nutritional information if known: 0g Effort (Easy, Average, Difficult): Easy Tammy Marie   Posts: 0 see this user's products

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Easy and Fun Cons: None The Gummy Bears were so much fun to make and really satisfy my sweet tooth for basically no cals, no carbs. Talk about a sweet nothing! When I made them, I added 4 packets of Splenda and a little stevia to increase the sweetness. I also added either a teaspoon of the same flavor extract as the jello, or a few drops of essential oil the same flavor as the jello. Yummy!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Flava!! Cons: None Without a mold use a ice cube tray. When it sets up pop the cubes out and dice in 6-8 pieces. You can also add a touch more water 1/4 c to make the recipe go further. YUMMO!

Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Positive aspects of the product (pros): quick and easy Cons: I just made these, and they are great. Mine got a little "frothy" looking, but still tasted great. I had to use the 'ole ice cube tray trick, and they stuck a bit, but not oo bad. I may think about spraying it next time. They are certainly great for an on-the-go fix!!!!

	Review Date: Thu September 2, 2010 Would you recommend the product? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 8    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Easy to make Cons: A little rubbery Next time will add a little more flavor. Used Lime and it could have used a bit more lime. I used a mini ice cube tray that was 12 cubes long by 3 wide. Made the candies into tiny 1/2 inch cubes. Did spray it first with a Pam like substance so they came out of the tray fine.
	Review Date: Sat November 13, 2010 Would you recommend the product? No | Price you paid?: $4.00 | Rating: 1    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Quick Cons: Rubbery, not flavourful I followed the recipe exactly and it was gross! So rubbery and not enough flavour! It went into that weird lumpy thing, which I then heated and put into the tapeworm mould you suggested. They were horrid! You didn't mention how big the gelatin packages were, maybe yours are a different size (I'm in Ontario, Canada)?

Yes | Price you paid?: $3.58 | Rating: 10    Positive aspects of the product (pros): Delicious and I don't feel bad eating them! Cons: Nothing I added a second box of SF Jello (I like lots of flavor) and an extra 1/4 cup of water and they came out perfect! I made lime flavor and my husband, a gummy bear addict was so happy to eat gummy bears again.
