    I tried these once and failed miserably… any help from those who have had success would be appreciated! (I have a whole bag of gelatin I want to use to make fruit snacks!)

    Do these need to be refrigerated for storage? How long do they stay good for?

    It is better to add the Vanilla after the heating process, otherwise, the vanilla will cook out.
