You always want to use silicone molds to make homemade gummy candy. The molds are heat resistant so they won't warp or melt when you pour the boiling hot sugar syrup into them. Also, they are flexible so you can easily bend them to remove the finished candies. If you check out my original gummy candy post (the one where I use gummy candy makers) you can see a nice variety of other molds that are available. You can make Homemade GIANT Gummy Bears, Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, and more. Oh, and in that post, I even show you how to make multi-colored gummy bears and gummy worms.
