Ingredients
Scale
1 cup cold water
1/2 cup Fireball Cinnamon Whisky
1/4 cup unflavored gelatin powder
1/2 cup crushed candy canes
1/4 cup peppermint flavored gelatin mix (like Jell-O)
Cooking spray or neutral oil for molds
Instructions
Lightly spray your silicone molds with cooking spray or oil. Set aside.
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over the cold water. Let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
In a small saucepan, combine the peppermint gelatin mix and 1/2 cup of water. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring until the gelatin powder is completely dissolved. Do not boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Whisk in the bloomed gelatin mixture until fully dissolved.
Stir in the Fireball Whisky. Mix well.
Let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If it is too hot, the alcohol will evaporate.
Carefully pour the liquid mixture into your prepared silicone molds.
Sprinkle the crushed candy canes evenly over the top of the liquid in the molds. Gently press them down slightly if needed.
Refrigerate for at least 3 to 4 hours, or until completely firm.
Once set, carefully remove the gummies from the molds. Toss them lightly in extra crushed candy canes for coating, if desired.
Notes
For a stronger alcohol flavor, reduce the amount of water slightly in the initial gelatin step.
If you want a firmer gummy, use 3/4 cup of unflavored gelatin instead of 1/2 cup.
Store these boozy Christmas treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
These are best served chilled as an easy holiday cocktail alternative.
