Wanted to say thanks again for this recipe now that I’ve used it! I made these for my son’s school Halloween Party, and they were AMAZING. Don’t want to use cornstarch either? Omit and sub in arrowroot powder. Again, you were warned. Don’t want to use it? Omit it but don’t yell at me if they aren’t as cute as mine. It helps with the texture and firmness of the eyes. Now let me answer your question as you review the recipe ingredients. And if you are someone who is trying to avoid animal products, how on earth are you supposed to eye-ball your cupcakes and cookies this holiday season? See the predicament! Eye got you covered (snickering…) The great thing about making your own homemade vegan googly eyes is that not only do you now have something to decorate your upcoming Halloween treats with but mainly because the goggly eyes sold in stores are actually made with gelatin. I kept asking them, “Are you looking at me? Are YOU looking at ME?” It never gets old…

I’m telling you, as these googly eyes were setting for the past 24 hours, I kept walking past them and giggling with pure delight. But they are so sweet it would be easy to eat a whole bunch without realizing it! Be sure to clearly keep them separate from other candy so your kids aren’t tempted.I have been so excited to share with you this recipe. These little guys pack a punch so beware! They are purely alcohol, no other liquid goes into making these. Instead I used a medicine syringe and it worked wonderfully. A lot of molds come with eye droppers to use but the ones I have did not. They’ll stay good a few days if you cover them, after that they start to shrink down as they dry out.Īfter making the mixture use a dropper to carefully squirt it into the gummy bear molds. Keep the gummies in the fridge until ready to serve. They are a bit tacky and stick together so keep that in mind when serving them. Each bear holds about 3ml in liquid form, so I’d estimate about 10-12 bears equal a one ounce shot.

I think a great way to serve these would be to add a handful into shot cups so everyone can grab a “shot” worth of gummy bears! This recipe is for about 50 bears so if you make it for a party you’ll need to make several batches. Basically you get the raspberry flavor, with a little bite of vodka at the end.

I used raspberry flavored Jello for these shots and the flavor really pops! You can taste the vodka a little bit, but it’s not an overwhelming flavor. Since I make jello shots often, I thought why not try it as a gummy?! What’s great about the homemade version is that you can come with so many flavor varieties and really customize it to your favorites! However, you have to soak them overnight, up to 24 hours, to really get the vodka in there.Įnter, the homemade boozy gummy bear! I came up with this idea when my son and I were making regular gummy bears one day using jello. Literally just soaking a bowl of gummy bears with vodka. You’ve probably seen vodka soaked gummy bears, which of course are also easy to make. These gummy bears are a delicious boozy treat and so easy to make! Prep time is about 10 minutes and they can be ready to eat in under three hours. Boozy gummy bears are easy to make and can be made in your favorite flavor!
