Prevent gummi bears from drying out
I have tried making gummi bears but have the problem that they dry out very fast. I'd like to make gummi bears that could be eaten for a couple days. After five days they dried out so much it was impossible to chew them anymore.
Am I missing some other ingredient to prevent it from drying out after just a couple days? This is the recipe I used
0.5 liter water
20 g gelatine
1 teaspoon salt
325 g sugar (65%)
A dash of glucose syrup
Flavoring
Best Answer
Try 50/50 sugar corn syrup. The corn syrup may help with retention

You can do the same thing as baked goods and seal them in with a piece of moist bread or orange peel just be warned it will change the aroma of whatever is sealed with it. I.E.bread is better with baked goods and orange peel would be better with the gummy bears.

You need a recipe that includes significant glycerin. As a humectant it'll help your gummis retain water, chewiness. Ro store the things, you'll need thick 5-6mil ziplocks. Thinner than that and water leaches out pretty quickly. If you get a bag that's gone dry, you can simply add enough water to bring it up to its fresh weight, reseal the bag, and wait 3-4 days for the water to sink in.
