If using a smaller mold, fill them about 3/4 way full. Since these are big gummy bears, I don’t fill them to the top and fill them just past the half-way point. Immediately take the Jello mixture and pour it into the Jumbo gummy mold. It should only take a few minutes for the mixture to be ready. Do not use a whisk or roughly stir the mixture as it will cause excessive air bubbles and do not let this boil. Make sure to constantly and gently stir the mix until all the sugar granules are dissolved. Once the gelatin has ‘bloomed’, heat the mixture over medium low heat. Unless you like playing tug-o-war with your food or losing a few teeth, I would keep it to the one or one and a half packets of gelatin. Note: The original recipe suggests using 2 gelatin packets for a chewier gummy, but we found found it too chewy. I tried to rush this step and had grainy gummy bears, so don’t skip this! Just add water to a pot and sprinkle the gelatin and Jello over the water and let sit for at least 5-minutes. The first thing and most important is to let the gelatin ‘bloom’ before heating it on the stove. Okay, we’re finally on to making the Jumbo Jello Gummy Bears! It’s super simple and you can whip this up right before the kids get home from school or make these with the kids! How to Make 3-ingredient Easy Jumbo Jello Gummy Bears I experimented with various flavors of Jello and the kids unanimously voted the Jolly Rancher Jello flavors the best. The emoji mold (linked below) is slightly bigger and the remaining molds are a bit smaller. The jumbo mold I used is currently sold out, but I linked to a similar mold that also create 2″ gummy bears. I prefer the silicone molds as it doesn’t require any non-stick spray and I don’t have to worry about any odd flavor from it. If you don’t want to buy a mold, you can use non-stick spray in a shallow pan or baking dish and cut the gummies into squares.
