First step was to cut the Gummies, although we had four boxes only used 2.5

Two tubs of Haribo cola bottle sweets cut into separate piles of brown and yellow halves

Boil the brown gummies,the smell is immense, keep stirring until there are no lumps and is a nice gooey consistancy

Dark brown gummy pieces melting in a steaming pan on the hob, wooden spoon resting inside

When the syrup is ready pour through a sieve and make sure there are no lumps, pour it into a heatproof jug.

Pour the mixture through a funnel into a coca cola bottle thats submerged in water, so it dosent change shape.

Let it set overnight

Next day Boil the white bits up.

Pale yellow gummy syrup bubbling in a pan, stirred with a wooden spoon

Keep adding and making sure your stirring hard so there are no lumps.

The syrup will drip off the spoon.

Pour into coke bottle again submerged in water, then chill over night.
