Description
I’ve been making these Fireball Whiskey Cinnamon Gummies for every fall gathering and winter house party since I discovered them two years ago.
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!
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!
