? about the 2 (0.3-ounce) envelopes unsweetened drink mix (any flavor). Kool-Aid mixes are between .14-.23 oz per envelope. So should I use 4 or the .14 oz envelpoes? Or 3 of the .23 oz? Or still use just 2, even though it won't be a total of .6 oz.

You can use 2 of the .14 oz packets. It will not affect the outcome of the recipe, as they just add coloring.

For the person who wanted to make these taste sour there is a product called True Lemon that is powdered fruit and it comes in lemon, orange and lime flavors. I think adding a couple of pacts of this would do the trick. It is sold in most supermarkets and also online. Not very expensive either. I use it in all kinds of cooking where I want the flavor but not the added juice of a piece of fruit.

I like sour a lot so this is perfect, Thanks A lot, Horse girl 04

I didn't really care for them, but to be honest I put 1 sugar free jello and one regular. I thought the regular was a sugar free at the store. The flavor was too strong.

Do these need to be refrigerated? Or just in a covered container.

We would suggest keeping them in the refrigerator. Thank you for your question!

Any ideas on how to make them taste sour?

Is there by chance a sour flavored drink mix?

Citric Acid is the ingredient that makes lollies/candy sour. Add to taste or roll your gummies in a mixture of caster sugar and citric acid to coat.

I did make the worms using straws. They came out really good. Looked so real. The only difference I would do is use fatter straws.

I saw somewhere if you put a bunch of bendable straws in a cup then fill the straws with the jello mixture then let it set up it forms the shape of the worm....I haven't tried it yet but looks like fun! Hope this helps!!

Is there any way to make these treats with regular gelatin?

I used regular gelatin using my recipe for finger jello.
