Description
Dill Pickle Gummy Worms are a fun and quirky snack that combines the tangy, savory flavor of dill pickles with the chewy texture of gummy worms. Perfect for pickle lovers or anyone looking for a unique treat, these gummy worms are both sweet and savory, offering a playful twist on traditional candy.
Ingredients
1 cup dill pickle juice (from a jar of pickles)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
1 teaspoon dill weed (finely crushed)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Green food coloring (optional, for enhanced color)
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, sprinkle the gelatin evenly over the dill pickle juice. Allow it to bloom for 5 minutes to soften the gelatin.
- Place the saucepan over low heat and stir continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved. Add the sugar, crushed dill weed, garlic powder, and optional food coloring. Stir until everything is well combined and the sugar dissolves completely.
- Carefully pour the warm gummy mixture into the gummy worm molds using a small dropper or spoon. Tap the molds gently on the counter to remove air bubbles and ensure even filling.
- Place the filled molds in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until the gummies are firm and set. Once set, gently pop the gummy worms out of the molds.
- Store the gummy worms in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes to the mixture for an extra kick.
- For a sweet and sour version, increase the sugar to 1/3 cup and add a little lemon juice.
- You can create colorful gummies by using different food colorings for a rainbow effect.
- For a vegan version, replace gelatin with agar-agar to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
- Gummy worms can be stored for up to a week in the fridge. They should be kept chilled to maintain their texture.
