Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of flavored Jello (any flavor)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Candy molds of your choice
- Optional: sprinkles or edible glitter for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Clean your kitchen surface and gather all ingredients. Place candy molds on a flat, stable surface.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar and cornstarch. Stir until smooth and lump-free.
- Combine with liquid: In a saucepan, pour water and add Jello. Heat on low to medium, stirring constantly. Gradually add the powdered sugar and cornstarch mixture.
- Add flavoring: Once the mixture thickens, add vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and pourable.
- Fill molds: Spoon the mixture evenly into molds. Tap molds gently to remove air bubbles. Add optional decorations on top.
- Set the candy: Let candies set at room temperature for 2–3 hours, or refrigerate for 30–45 minutes for faster setting.
- Remove from molds: Gently pop candies out. Use a small knife or spatula if edges stick.
- Store or serve: Place candies in an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Notes
Use silicone molds for easy removal.
Experiment with layered colors for a unique effect.
Avoid overcooking the mixture to prevent it from becoming too firm.
