Have you ever wondered how to make fedible gummies? We love making our own infused edible gummies. The sweet and tangy bears can be enjoyed in many different flavors and their small size makes them a great option for controlling dosage—whether that be your sugar intake or medicinally. Either way, this yummy treat will keep you coming back for more!
Or if you're looking for an even simpler way to make gummies at home, shop our Gummy Mix Kit, which comes with Cherry, Peach, and Raspberry flavored mixes. Just add infused oil and water!
Key Takeaways
Essential tools and ingredients include water, infused coconut oil, lecithin, unflavored and flavored gelatin.
To infuse the coconut oil we recommend using an infusing machine like the LEVO.
Follow the detailed recipe for step-by-step instructions on mixing, setting, and finalizing your homemade gummies.
The process allows for customization in flavor, shape, and dosage, catering to both recreational and medicinal needs.
Please share your gummy creations on social media using #LEVOmade to join the community of home infusers.
Follow the #LEVOmade recipe for infused gummies below.
Follow the Basic LEVO Coconut Oil Infusion recipe to get a head start by using your LEVO machine to infuse cannabinoid rich flower with coconut oil.
This recipe requires 1/4 cup of the infused coconut oil.
Instructions
Before beginning, prep your work space and your gummy molds. Set your gummy molds on a cookie sheet (for sturdy transport) and spray them with a non-stick cooking spray. I used coconut oil spray, which will harden & absorb (and not leave a wet & oily coating over the gummies like canola oil spray did). I also combined the 4 gelatin packets into a small bowl and opened the flavored gelatin ahead of time and set them near the stove for quicker and easier mixing. Set your syringes/dispensers and whisk within reach, too.
In a small saucepan, bring the water, infused coconut oil, and lecithin to medium heat and whisk together until fully combined (see photo below). Once the mixture starts to bubble, increase to medium-high heat for a rolling boil. Slowly add in the unflavored gelatin while continuously whisking at the same time. Do not stop whisking!!! Once the unflavored gelatin is mixed in, add in all of the flavored gelatin while continuing to whisk. Whisk together on medium-high heat for about 1 minute until fully combined and smooth.
Turn down heat source to low heat while continuing to whisk. Mixture should still be bubbling, but not boiling. Working very quickly, begin to fill your molds. Stir the mixture every so often to recombine. Mixture will continually get thicker and thicker as the gelatin sets, so you only have a few minutes to fill the molds.
Once the mixture is used up, place the molds in the freezer or refrigerator for the gummies to harden, about 20 minutes to an hour. Once completely set, pop them out of the molds and store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.

At what point do you roll them in sugar or the like? ——— LEVO Oil Infusion, Inc. replied: You’ll do this once they’ve completely set. 😊

How many average sized gummy bears would this make? ——— LEVO Oil Infusion, Inc. replied: Hey hey!
This recipe would typically make around 100-125 average-sized gummy bears. The exact number depends on the size of the mold you’re using, but standard gummy bear molds hold about 1-2 mL of liquid per cavity.
Since the total volume of the mixture (water, infused coconut oil, and gelatin) is approximately 1 cup (240 mL), and each gummy bear is about 2 mL, you’d get around 120 gummy bears.
If your molds are smaller, you may end up with more, and if they are larger, you’ll get fewer.

Is there a recipe to use with the Gummy Candy Mixer or do you have to use the pre made gummy mixes with the machine? ——— LEVO Oil Infusion, Inc. replied: Hey hey! We recommend using our LEVO Gummy Mixes with the Gummy Candy Mixer, but you can totally experiment with your own gelatin or flavors. You should join us in the LEVO Love Club on Facebook for this. We have over 22,000 members who would be happy to share their tips for making the perfect gummies!

Can we use the levo gummy mixer here? ——— LEVO Oil Infusion, Inc. replied: The directions will be a bit different for the Gummy Candy Mixer. I’ll list them below.
1. Pre-mix 1 bag of LEVO Gummy Mix with 6 tbsp of water until you reach a paste-like consistency. 2. Run cycle 1. 3. Add 3-4 tablespoons of infused oil. 4. Run cycle 2 until the oil is fully incorporated. 5. Pour into your molds and allow to set in the refrigerator.
I hope that this helps!

If my gummy mix won’t set properly, where have I gone wrong ——— LEVO Oil Infusion, Inc. replied: If your gummy mix isn’t setting properly, it could be due to a few reasons. Here are some tips to troubleshoot:
1.
Emulsification: Make sure your mixture is fully emulsified. If it’s not, the gummies might not set correctly. You can try melting them back down and stirring a bit longer, or re-running cycle 2 if you’re using our Gummy Candy Mixer. 2.
Refrigeration: Ensure that the molds are placed in the refrigerator for a sufficient amount of time. Sometimes, leaving them in the fridge for a longer period can help the gummies set better. 3.
Stirring: Stirring is crucial. If you notice the oil separating from the gummy mix, it means you need to stir more. Conversely, if you see foaming, you might be over-stirring. 4.
Temperature: Make sure you’re using the correct temperature settings. The Gummy Candy Mixer uses precise temperature and time settings, which can help take the guesswork out of candy making.
