Gummy Shot Glass

I was browsing through my monthly Think Geek magazine and saw they were selling gelatin shot glasses, and did not like the price tag associated with them ($15 for 6).  So I though about it and decided to make my own since I had already made homemade gummy bears before.

Step 1: The Materials

All you need is:
One 3 oz. box of flavored gelatin
Two 1/4 oz. packages of unflavored gelatin,
1/3 cup of hot water
Ice Shot glass mold (got mine at a clearance sale for $2)
Corn Starch (to prevent sticking)

With the following recepie I was able to make two-and-a-half shot glasses which is roughly 4 oz.

I was wondering how you managed to get the shot glasses out...? I tried making a set and they either got destroyed in the removing process, or did not come out at all...

I just lightly pulled on them until they slid out. When you are removing them see if you are able to get air to to shoot to the bottom of the mold so you do not have a vacuum form when you are removing them.

could you coat the mold with cornstarch before you pour the mixture in?

[elco_chan]

Tried that on one, it came out easily but but did not look as appetizing as the ones without the cornstarch.

I want to know where you get gelatin for $0.25 a box???? I buy it ever so often to make a Portuguese Cream Pie and I can not get any box of it for even close.

[elco_chan]

I live near a discount grocey store and they sometimes get shipments of it in.

[MsJaxFla]

Oh thanks.

I live a close enough distance to Dollar Tree, Family Dollar, Dollar General & a Big Lots, so I will try to keep an eye out at those.

have u tried dusting them with powered sugar? it might make them a it sweeter than the cornstartch . i dont know how itll affect the gloss.

[elco_chan]

The only concern I had with powdered sugar is that if there is any humidity around it could cause everything to stick together and just be a gooey mess, but I'll have to try it to see if it does work.

Just picked up a mold from Michels for a $2.

[zazenergy]

awesome idea! These look great.

[mejakobs]

Cool, I like them.

You could try melting the rim with hot water to smooth it. Also just out of intrest, did they end up cheaper than $2.50 each?

[elco_chan]

Yes, they only ended costing about $0.25 a piece. The gelatin only cost me $0.25 a box (well this is assuming you take out the price of the mold out of the picture).
