Ingredients
Scale
Pickle Juice Mixture
- 1/2 cup dill pickle juice (from a jar)
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (about 3 packets)
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, for extra tang)
- Green food coloring (optional)
Main Ingredient
- About 20 sour gummy worms
Instructions
- Prepare the Pickle Juice Mixture: In a small saucepan, combine the dill pickle juice, water, and granulated sugar. Heat this mixture over low to medium heat, stirring continuously until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Add the Gelatin: Gradually whisk in the unflavored gelatin, adding one tablespoon at a time. Ensure each addition is completely dissolved before adding the next to avoid lumps and achieve a smooth mixture.
- Add Optional Ingredients: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the garlic powder if you want extra tanginess, and add a drop or two of green food coloring if you desire a festive look.
- Soak the Gummy Worms: Pour the gelatin-pickle mixture into a small dish or bowl. Submerge the sour gummy worms completely into the liquid, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Chill: Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This chilling step allows the gummy worms to absorb the pickle flavor thoroughly.
- Serve: Remove the gummy worms from the pickle mixture and serve them chilled for a unique and tangy snack experience.
Notes
- Adjust soaking time for a stronger or milder pickle flavor as desired.
- For a spicy twist, add a dash of hot sauce or red pepper flakes to the soaking mixture.
- These gummy worms make a great novelty snack for parties and are perfect for pickle lovers seeking a unique treat.
