@gleegum - Gum Pops Review

It's almost Halloween time! 

I have a few questions for you:

1. Do you dress up? 
2. What kind of candy do you hand out? 

I've been trying to stay away from sugar, which isn't easy considering that my work has it all over the place.

Glee Gum sent me Gum Pops and Glee Gum to review. It's great because it's sugar free, but has the sweet taste that I'm craving.

Flavors:

• Sweet Strawberry
• Crisp Green Apple, or as we call them Crisp Green Apel Ha! Blog name - Last name.

I was just a tad sad that they only had one Crisp Green Apple! It's my and Isaak's favorite. That was the one he picked to eat.

He said it was good!

Make Your Own Gummies Review and Giveaway

The boys were so excited when we got our Make Your Own Gummies Kit to review by Glee Gum! It's an all natural kit made with seaweed.

The packaging is fun!

They give you pretty easy step by step instructions to follow.

What I love is that they have a whole story about why gummy candies are made out of seaweed.

The story is about a family from the Philippines. They started a seaweed farm. Some people eat seaweed in their salads or in sushi. Seaweed has carrageenan and agar in it to make your own gummies. Other things that have seaweed in them are: Toothpaste, cottage cheese, deodorant, dog food, pudding, and more. Gummy candies are made from gelatin. A lot of other foods like marshmallows and jello have gelatin in them to. Gelatin helps build strong bones.

The Kit Came With These Powders and a Dry Piece of Seaweed:

How to Make Your Own Gummies:

 Step 1: Soak the dried seaweed in a bowl of water.

Step 2: Choose non detailed shaped to make molds. They should be about the size of refrigerator magnets. Wash and dry them. Then pour the molding starch onto a dinner plate and smooth out the surface to make the molds. I have to admit that I was confused by this part. I was surprised that no water was needed to form my molds. We used a top as our object.

Step 3: Mix the powdered seaweed with 1/2 cup water. Stir and do not worry about the lumps. Add the dried seaweed to the mixture.

Step 4: Heat on the stove top, or microwave in an appropriate container. We made ours in the microwave. Heat for 2 minutes, or until it bubbles.

Step 5: Take out the dried seaweed with a fork. Stir in the colored sugar. Heat it for 1 minute, or until it foams up again.

Step 6: Pour the mixture into the molds.

Step 7: Take the gummies out of the mold, wipe off any mold powder, put them in a baggie, add the sour mixture and shake. After that it's eating time.

If you have left overs make new molds, heat the gummy mixture again and pour once more.

My boys liked them. We did find that they get sticky if left out. We put them in the fridge.

Glee Gum - Make Your Own Chocolate Reveiw and Giveaway! {Rafflecopter}

I was so excited on Friday when I got our Make Your Own Chocolate From Scratch Kit to review! I decided to make chocolate around 3:30 yesterday.
The packaging is so great!

I knew Mica would be drawn to this product right away. He likes to dress up like a Native American. Chocolate comes from cacao beans. They were found originally in South and Central America. The cacao tree was brought from paradise to the earth by Quetzalcoatl, an Aztec God.

The boy's started out separating the paper cups out and putting different things in them. These paper cups were provided in the Make Your Own Chocolate From Scratch Kit.

Then I set out on the journey to make chocolate with Mica. Other things the kit provided:

• Certified organic cocoa butter
• Cocoa powder
• Confectioner's sugar
• Starter crystals
• A temperature indicator
• Instructions and the story of chocolate
• Cocoa beans to just try out

We used a double boiler to melt the chocolate, but you can use a microwave. It was really easy, but for some reason I was freaking out thinking the temperature gage wasn't working. The instructions even say that it takes up to 15 min.

In the end we had YUMMY chocolates! Glee Gum makes other wonderful all natural candy kits.
