Doc Pop's Blog: Gummy Bear Recap

    Hey, if the gummies get too sticky after being melted, a little dusting of corn starch will help a lot - make sure to brush off as much excess as possible though so the taste won't be affected.

    That's the magical tip we were looking for, thanks!!!

    Haha, you still have some czech absinth, great way to use it, hope you'll enjoy those bears.

    I guess I'm too late but I was also going to suggest corn starch, but mixed with some confectioner's sugar like when you make marshmallows.

    Jesus, did everybody know about this trick except me? WTF?

    It's great advice though.

    If you'd tried making homemade marshmallows (so freaking delicious- so easy to fuck up until you've tried it a few times!), you'd immediately realize that sticky = add corn starch/powdered sugar/sweet rice flour (whatever).

    To the marshmallow-uninitiated, however, stickiness just usually leads to "ah, fuck it, let's just eat them all now".
