Zero Sugar Gummy Protein Bars Tips & Expert Strategy

TEXTURE EXPECTATION: These will set up firm and chewy, much denser than standard gelatin desserts. They should hold their shape easily when picked up.
SUBSTITUTION WARNING: You absolutely cannot swap the beef gelatin for collagen peptides. Collagen will not set the liquid, and you will just have flavored water.
STORAGE TIP: Keep these stored in the fridge. Because they are gelatin-based, leaving them out in a warm kitchen will cause them to soften and lose their chew.
MIXING TRICK: If your gelatin clumps despite whisking, you can pass the hot liquid through a fine mesh strainer before pouring it into the molds to ensure a completely smooth bar.
