I personally have not used honey to make this recipe as I have a severe allergy to it. If you are able to tolerate it though, I would recommend you use it in place of the sugar. Add the honey just before you stir in the gelatine to preserve it's antibacterial qualities. These gummies are barely sweet as we prefer them that way. Additional sugar or honey may be required if you prefer them to be sweeter. Taste the mixture before you add the gelatine and adjust the sweetness accordingly. The number of gummies this recipe makes is entirely dependant on the size of your moulds. Adjust the size of the mould to the size of the child, but don't make them too big or they become a bit much. All Tablespoon measurements in this recipe are 15ml
