👨‍🍳 The Secret to Perfect Fireball Whiskey Gummies

You might wonder—how do you capture that distinctive Fireball burn in a perfectly textured gummy?

The trick lies in the balance. Too much alcohol prevents proper setting, while too little loses that signature Fireball punch. This recipe perfectly calibrates the whiskey-to-gelatin ratio for gummies that hold their shape while delivering that warming cinnamon kick we all know and love.

The cinnamon-sugar coating isn’t just for flavor—it also helps prevent the gummies from sticking together while adding an extra dimension of texture and taste. It’s like having a shot of Fireball transformed into a sophisticated adult candy!

🧠 FAQs – All Your Burning Questions Answered!

How strong are these gummies?
They pack a punch! Each small gummy contains approximately the equivalent of a small sip of Fireball. The alcohol doesn’t cook off, so these are definitely adults-only treats.

Can I make these alcohol-free?
Absolutely! Replace the Fireball with apple cider and increase the cinnamon for a kid-friendly version that still delivers that signature spice.

Why are my gummies not setting properly?
The most common culprit is too much alcohol or not enough gelatin. Make sure you’re measuring precisely and allowing sufficient chilling time.

How long do they last?
When stored properly in the refrigerator, these gummies maintain their perfect texture for about 2 weeks. Though honestly, they rarely last that long!

🧊 Storage Tips

These boozy bites stay delicious with proper storage:

• Keep refrigerated in airtight containers
• Separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking

📋 The Complete Recipe

Thanks for reading! Here’s the full breakdown of these party-perfect treats:

🔥 Fireball Whiskey Cinnamon Gummies

🧺 Ingredients

For approximately 50-60 gummies (depending on mold size):

• 1 cup Fireball Whiskey
• 1/2 cup cold water
• 2 tablespoons gelatin powder
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
• Additional ground cinnamon for coating (to taste)

Tip: For the most vibrant cinnamon flavor, use fresh ground cinnamon rather than the jar that’s been sitting in your cabinet for years!

🍽️ Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Base
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the Fireball Whiskey and cold water. Stir to mix well, being careful not to let the mixture get too hot (which could break down the alcohol).

Step 2: Add Gelatin Magic
Gradually sprinkle the gelatin powder over the liquid mixture, stirring continuously to prevent clumping. Continue stirring until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3: Sweeten and Spice
Add 1/4 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the mixture. Stir until the sugar completely dissolves. The mixture should be clear with a gorgeous amber-reddish hue.

Step 4: Cool Slightly
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for about 2-3 minutes. You want it liquid enough to pour easily but not so hot that it damages your molds.

Step 5: Fill Your Molds
Carefully pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds, filling each cavity to the top. For extra precision, use a dropper or small measuring cup with a spout.

Step 6: Chill to Set
Refrigerate the molds for at least 2-3 hours, or until the gummies are completely set and firm to the touch. For best results, leave them overnight—patience will be rewarded!

Step 7: Release and Coat
Once set, carefully remove the gummies from the molds by gently pulling the silicone away from the edges first. In a shallow dish, combine 1/4 cup of granulated sugar with additional ground cinnamon (adjust to your spice preference).

Step 8: The Final Touch
Roll each gummy in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated. The coating not only adds texture and additional flavor but also prevents the gummies from sticking together.

Step 9: Store or Serve
Transfer your coated gummies to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator, or arrange them on a serving platter for immediate enjoyment!
