In this Instructable, I will show you how to make spooky gummies. For my example, I (tried. I'm not a very good sculptor...or molder) I made a devil using:


1 pack of Raspberry Jello
2 packs of Gelatin
Play-Doh (for the mold)
A Lego guy (also for the mold)
A little squirter thing to fill the mold
Non-stick cooking spray
Water (or Kool-Aid if you're adventurous)

Other ideas include lime zombies, orange pumpkins (taste about as good as real pumpkins), or pineapple ghosts. Ghosts taste like pineapples if you didn't know.

The only things I had to pay for was the Jello, gelatin, Play-Doh, and some Legos. All in all, it was about $20.

Step 1: Mixing the stuff

Mix the Jello and gelatin into a bowl. Put 1 3/4 cups of water into a pot and wait for it to boil. When it starts to boil, add the water to the bowl and mix it. To keep the mixture from solidifying, put it back on the stove, but at a low heat.

FYI, the gummy candy factories use corn starch for molds - giant trays of CS which they press hundreds of shapes into, squirt molten gummy into each dimple, then chill to set. Then the trays are dumped over a mesh, the CS collected underneath & reused, while the new candies are air blown & tumbled to shake off the last of the CS powder.

Food grade silicone would make a nice mold too for low volume projects, more detail than the corn starch and no Play-Doh taste (though some toddlers just LOVE the taste of Play-Doh.)
