I went in deep and blew $150Can on a couple of proper gummie molds that each make 192 - 4ml gummies or chocolates. One just has CBD and the other is the Canadian pot leaf symbol used on the legal products sold in stores.
I've only done the chocolate for CBD so far but have all the ingredients like Jello, 3 flavours, to make gummies for the first time.

I'd bought my wife this cookie sheet, rack and silicon mat set for $30 a few years ago mainly because I wanted the silicon mat for my oil projects.
I had read lots about people doing gummies on larger than a few scales having problems with the mix cooling too fast and getting too gummie too soon and making things tough or impossible to do. I rubbed my few remaining brain cells together and came up with this idea after finding out the gummie molds were a perfect size to sit on that rack.
I got my two-burner hotplate out and made sure it was level then added some water to the cookie sheet as it has nice sides on it. Then played with the dials to get the water around 150F so it can heat up the mold.

Mix up the chocolate on a double boiler using MCT oil to pre-dissolve the pot oil and add a few tsps of liquid sunflower lecithin.

No dickin' around with the fancy silicon squeeze bulb I got and never used to fill all 192 spaces one at a time. I like to work smart, not hard, so let it pour baby! I tried spraying some PAM on the first 3 rows but don't so that. Screws them all up and not needed at all. Bought that icing spreader unit to spread and scrape the top so no blobs anywhere and each piece come out exactly the same. 768ml needed to fill them all tho you could do smaller batches if you want.

Get it all nice and even then unplug the hotplate and let them cool enough to pick up. I put them in the freezer for too long so later they got a white coating on them but that doesn't really hurt anything than cosmetics.

Once cooled I just popped them out on a sheet of parchment paper and it's all ready to eat. As they were hi-CBD I'd eat 4 or so to get a nice mellow buzz but one or two worked great for my joint pain which Is what I made them for.

I'm not even sure if I'll ever use these again. Just dove into a "new thing" without thinking it thru like usual.
Got 6kg of bulk Jello, a bunch of flavourings etc etc. Might just put it all in the buy and sell section. Need money to get a boat so I can go fishing but getting the bank to throw me some cash for that.
