Ingredients

Scale

2 packets (0.13 oz each) of your favorite Kool-Aid flavors
• 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
• ½ cup cold water
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
• ⅓ cup light corn syrup
• Gummy bear molds (or any mold of choice)
• (Optional: Edible shimmer dust for a sparkling effect)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Gelatin:
    • In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over cold water.
    • Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until it absorbs the liquid and thickens.
  • Make the Sugar Syrup:
    • In a small saucepan, combine granulated sugar and corn syrup over medium heat.
    • Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely, and the mixture becomes clear and smooth.
    • Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  • Incorporate the Gelatin & Flavoring:
    • Stir the bloomed gelatin into the warm syrup until it is completely melted and incorporated.
    • Add the Kool-Aid powder and stir until the mixture is smooth and evenly colored.
  • Fill the Molds:
    • Using a dropper or small spoon, carefully fill the gummy bear molds with the liquid mixture.
    • Work quickly, as the mixture will begin to set as it cools.
  • Let the Gummies Set:
    • Allow the molds to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for 25-30 minutes to speed up the setting process.
  • Remove from Molds & Store:
    • Gently pop the gummies out of the molds. If they are sticking, briefly place the mold in warm water to loosen them.
    • Store in an airtight container at room temperature. These gummies will stay fresh for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Custom Flavors: Try layering two or more Kool-Aid flavors in one mold for a fun twist!
  • Texture Adjustments: Adjust the amount of gelatin for a firmer or softer texture depending on your preference.
  • Optional Shimmer: For a fun sparkling effect, add edible shimmer dust before allowing the gummies to set.
