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".

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

It's great advice though.

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.

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.
