== Tips ==
*These timings may be a little off, so pay close attention to what you are doing.
*The candy might stick to flimsy plastic molds, so try to get sturdy ones.
*A very light coating of non-stick cooking spray can be used to line the plastic mold to make it easier for the candy to release when it is ready.
*Don’t limit yourself to just gummy bears. There are hundreds of different candy molds available.
