If you have and haven’t tried these gummies, you can make them at home. So with that, follow these simple and easy steps to create your very own magical butter gummies.
Fresh juices like pineapple, papaya, kiwi, and mango juice contain an enzyme. It can break down the gelatin structure, which can affect the texture of your gummies. White grape or apple juice is the best option for the recipe. The main reason is that it will result in a clearer, best texture and exceedingly flavorful gummies.
If you plan to add an infusion to your gummy mixture, you should add it after mixing. Likewise, add it after melting your gummies. Because of that, please add it when you are about to pour it into molds. Afterward, turn off the heat and pour your infusion. Then, mix your ingredients evenly to distribute your medicated oil. Also, ensure a homogenous mixture by carefully doing this step.
Also, you can add your flavoring if you want to add flavors. Moreover, you can remove the mixture from the heat once it fully melts. Then, allow it to cool completely and re-solidify. After that, reheat it again. As a result, this process will achieve a smoother texture in your gummies.

How Do You Keep Gummy Bears From Getting Moldy?
Like all foods, eventually, they will begin to go moldy. However, there are ways you can slow this process down and give your gummy bears the best shelf life. As gummy bears are candies, they do tend to go moldy much slower than other foods. This is because they have such a high sugar content and sugar makes mold unhabitable.
If you’ve made your gummies or opened a bag of store-bought gummy bears, the best place to put them is in an airtight container. They should then be kept in a cool, dry place. Alternatively, you can keep them in the refrigerator. This will extend the shelf life of the gummy bears slightly.
How Do You Reshape Gummies?
There are many ways you can reshape gummies, but first, you’ll need to melt them. To do this all you need to do is place the gummies into a microwave-safe bowl and set your microwave to half-power. If you’d like individual colors, be sure to split the gummies into different bowls dependent on color, and melt each bowl of gummies separately.
Place gummies into a microwave for around 5 minutes. After this time, you can check how melted they are, and potentially put them in for longer, if needed. Once melted, you can pour the gummies into a mold of whichever shape you’d like and then leave them to set.

Tips And Tricks For Magical Butter Gummy Recipe
Always have a clean workspace. With that, make sure to remove unnecessary clutter and clean your countertops. Moreover, prepare and measure each of your ingredients before starting with your recipes. In that regard, place them all in front of you before starting.
To ensure that the unflavored gelatin mixes evenly, add your water or juice to your non-stick pan. After that, whisk your flavored and unflavored gelatin to create a uniform powder.
Furthermore, allow your gelatin to bloom, which means fully absorbing all the liquid added to your gelatin. Remember, this process will ensure a smooth texture in your magical butter gummies.
Additionally, sprinkle your gelatin into a cold liquid. And let it dissolve for about 7 to 10 minutes. When your gelatin blooms and absorbs all the liquids, it will evenly melt when heated. As a result, you will have lump-free gummies.
After blooming, bring your mixture to a simmer on low heat. Keep in mind that high heat will cause your gelatin to burn and will compromise its structure. With that, you may observe that your mixture will become less viscous if it melts entirely.
You can use sour sugar to dust your magical butter gummies to give them a sweet and sour coating. Then, mix a teaspoon of anhydrous citric acid with a cup of granulated sugar. After that, gently toss your magical butter gummies into the mixture before storing it.
