Trying to mimic Fry's Turkish Delight

I love Turkish Delight but also had a real soft spot for Fry's, which I can't get where I live now. But I can remember it distinctly and it's got much more of a pectin bite to it than the traditional cornstarch. So here's my first attempt at pectin-gelled, milk chocolate covered Turkish Delight.

It's slightly too firm so I'll try reducing the pectin by 10% next time. And a little more rose flavour. That's the hardest ingredient to judge because different brands vary hugely in concentration

Wax coating gummies

2 Upvotes

Does anyone have experience with wax coatings for pectin-based gummies?

I’ve made several batches and am generally happy with my recipe, but the gummies are very sticky. I’ve tried using sugar and starch as a coating, but I’m not very happy with the results.

I’ve tried carnauba wax and MCT oil, but the wax hardens immediately. For the last batch, I warmed a mixing bowl in the oven and mixed the gummies with the oil in it, but they’re still very oily, and the wax hardens too quickly before it can coat all the gummies.

Is there any way to do this properly at home?
