Homemade Schisandra Berry Gummy Worms – A Perfectly Sour Treat!
If you're a fan of sour candy, these schisandra berry gummy worms are a must-try! They have a tangy kick with just the right amount of sweetness, making them a fun and flavourful alternative to store-bought gummy candy. Plus, the best part? You can reuse the schisandra berries from the recipe to make additional batches or add them to other dishes!
To give these gummies an extra sour punch, we use citric acid for coating. However, if your gummies are too moist, the citric acid can melt and become sticky. To prevent this, let your gummies sit in the refrigerator uncovered for 12-24 hours before rolling them in the citric acid mixture.
