Just for Fun – Homemade Gummy Bears!

This recipe caught my eye because I’ve always enjoyed the texture of gummy bears and because their minimal fat content makes them superior to most candies. All you need is a candy mold (available at almost any craft store) and a few very basic ingredients. If you have kids (or nieces and nephews), t’s a great way to get children interested in cooking.

I made this with my nephews and it sparked an fascination with food prep; they’ve both become eager to help with traditional meals. More importantly for my sister, it gives her a rest when they come over for a visit!
