Make your own gummies.....Actually...No really, don't.

Hey, people!
Sorry I havn't posted anything in such a long time, I've been realllly busy! But I finally got these pix, so enjoy!

Okay, so we got a "Make Your Own Gummies" kit...and it had carageen instead of gelatin. Good idea, right? Wrong.

1. You had to make your own molds...Fun? No. It was wayyy to hard to find something to make the mold...and the once you finally got the shape right it would crumble at the slightest touch!
2. Once you mixed together the carageen and the cherry flavor...It smelled...Really, really gross. Like a candy shop on a wharf. The smell of cherry and seaweed was reeeeaaaalllllyyyy pungent...it a bad way. So, we were so supposed to pour the now really hot gummi mix into our...molds. So we tried one, but it really wasn't coming out right. We got one good gummi in the shape of a Lego brick....So we had a little taste-test. One word. Ew. It was hot, it was....gummy...and really slimy. I won't go into the details.

So next, we spread out all the mixture out and let it cool. Then we cut out shapes using the animal cookie cutters I used for the Banana cookies. After rolling these in sour crystals, they were okay. They tasted allllot better!!! But only for a few days, they got old...Fast.
So long story short the gummies were a good idea....but they were really bad.
