To draw a parallel, gummies expand in water the same way that starches do if you’re making a gravy! Candy science is especially interesting to me and I love seeing what people are doing with candy. For a grown up treat, try soaking the gummies in any liquor. I haven’t done this, but I’d be interested to see how water absorption and alcohol absorption compare :)

I just knew I’d come up with an answer by tonight.
