Gummies are a versatile treat that can be melted into a liquid for various creative uses in drinks, desserts, or even homemade edibles. Whether you’re planning a fun dessert topping or want to craft colorful layers for a drink, learning how to melt gummies into liquid is a straightforward process. In this guide, we’ll walk you through five easy methods to achieve this.

**1. Stovetop Method**
The stovetop method is one of the simplest ways to melt gummies. Here's how:
**Steps:**
Place a small saucepan on low heat.
Add your desired amount of gummies to the pan.
Stir constantly with a silicone spatula to prevent sticking or burning.
If the mixture seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water or fruit juice to thin it out.
Once fully melted, remove from heat and use immediately.
**Tip:**
This method works best if you’re preparing a small batch for immediate use in drinks or desserts.
**2. Microwave Method**
For a quicker option, try the microwave. It’s ideal for melting gummies when you’re in a hurry.
**Steps:**
Place gummies in a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat on medium power for 30 seconds.
Remove, stir, and repeat in 10-second intervals until fully melted.
Be cautious of overheating, as gummies can scorch easily.
**Recommendation:**
Use a microwave-safe bowl with a handle for easier pouring into molds or onto desserts.
**3. Double Boiler Method**
The double boiler method is perfect for controlled melting without the risk of burning.
**Steps:**
Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer.
Place a heatproof bowl over the saucepan, ensuring it doesn’t touch the water.
Add gummies to the bowl and stir continuously.
Once melted, remove the bowl and use the liquid as needed.
**Tip:**
This method is excellent for creating smooth and consistent liquid gummies for decorative purposes.
**4. Oven Method**
For large batches, the oven method is convenient and efficient.
**Steps:**
Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
Place gummies in a heatproof dish.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil to retain moisture.
Heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Remove once the gummies are fully melted.
**Best Use:**
This method is ideal for creating gummy syrup in bulk for parties or events.
**5. Blender Method (With Heat)**
For those with high-powered blenders that have a heating feature, this method offers a modern twist.
**Steps:**
Add gummies to the blender.
Use the heating function to melt and blend the gummies simultaneously.
Once melted, pour the liquid directly into molds or dishes.
**Note:**
Not all blenders can handle this task, so check your appliance’s manual before attempting.
