For another fun lego treat for the lego birthday party we used the mold to make 4 different batches of gummy Lego’s for the party in various flavors and colors. It was SO easy and fun.
I tried using and plunger and doing just one at a time, but it started to thicken and harden before I could finish so with the next batches I just poured it in and spread it around. Then using a rolling pin I rolled the large base plate over the top so they have bottom wells so they can stack! Ten throw it into the freezer for 15 mins and then unpeel! The kids loved helping AND they taste great too! I couldn’t believe it actually worked so well.

can you color the mixture with food coloring ??
Ashlee Prisbrey
you can add food color, of course I suggest using gel… the jello of course add’s it’s own color, but if you want it stronger adding food coloring is an easy way to go. AND if you don’t want it see through you can add white icing color and that will make it like the green candies in the Indiana jones party http://ashleemarie.com/lego-indiana-jones-birthday-party/ like Wiltons or any other brand white icing color it’s super cool and you only need a few drops!

Just curious about how much your recipe made? Great ideas, btw! My 4 year old daughter wants Lego for her 5th party, and there is almost nothing girlie Lego, so I can totally customize your ideas to her! Love your blog too! 🙂
Ashlee
um…. It didn’t quite fill my mold, but I’m not sure how much that is in comparison! I’d try a single batch first and if it doesn’t fill your mold make a double batch the second time. i’d rather have more smaller batches because you can have more colors that way!

This is so stinkin’ cool. I’m a little intimidated by making the mold though.
Ashlee
the mold was SUPER easy, really, expensive, but EASY!

Am browsing your ideas and thought it would fantastic to have gummies; however, are those real gummies or gelatine, meaning, can I put them into a bag?
Ashlee
yup, once they set I threw them all in a bowl, or bag, not problems
