Ingredients
Scale
- 4 packs of unflavored gelatin
- 2 cups of fruit juice (berry, grape, or red fruit for vibrant color)
- 1/2 cup of hot water
- 2 tablespoons of honey or corn syrup
- Food coloring (red, black, or metallic for gun details)
- Edible metallic paint or luster dust (for gun barrels)
- Candy guns molds (preferably silicone)
- Gummy bear candies (for gun handles and sights)

For extra realism, you may also want edible black or silver food markers and small edible decorations available from specialty baking stores.
Instructions
- Start by softening 2 packs of unflavored gelatin in 1 cup of fruit juice in a saucepan, letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously until completely dissolved—avoid boiling.
- Add 2 tablespoons of honey or corn syrup and mix well.
- Divide the mixture into separate bowls and add food coloring to each to create different gun parts (black, red, silver).
- Pour the colored gelatin mixture into silicone gummy gun molds using squeeze bottles for precision.
- Insert small gummy bear candies into molds as gun handles and sights.
- Spray edible metallic paint on the solidified gummies for a metallic gun barrel effect.
- Allow the gummy guns to set in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or until firm.
- Use edible black or metallic food markers to add details like gun sights or trigger guards.
- Gently remove gummies from molds and assemble if you made separate parts.
- Optionally, decorate with edible glitter for a more striking effect.
Notes
- Store gummy guns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Use edible metallic dust for extra visual appeal.
- Handle with care when removing from molds to avoid breaking.
