Is it possible to make your own jelly beans at home? I am trying to find a recipe in making a basic simple jelly bean then expand with flavors later. I came across a recipe in making jellies, but thats how far I got. Can someone please assist?
There's a guy on the Food Network who goes around to various factories, and does his show on the processes involved in producing different types of foods. He did a segment on the jelly bean one time. The formula is poured into tiny molds and goes through a gelling process. Then the candies are moved into a climate controlled drying room for a specific period of time. After that, they are put into a large container that looks a lot like a cement mixer, where they are coated with corn starch. This prevents them from becoming sticky. Then finally, they go through a polishing step.
I won't say it's not possible to make jelly beans at home. But had you asked if it was easy or simple, I'd have to say "no".
