Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 packet Kool-Aid drink mix (any flavor)
- 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin (about 4 envelopes)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add water, Kool-Aid powder, unflavored gelatin, and sugar. Whisk together until fully combined. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to bloom.
- Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium-low heat and stir constantly for 5–7 minutes, or until everything is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to let it boil.
- Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the liquid into silicone molds using a dropper or spoon. This helps to create uniform gummy shapes.
- Chill and Set: Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least 1 hour, or until the gummies are firm and set.
- Store Gummies: Once set, remove the gummies from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
- Use any Kool-Aid flavor to produce different colors and tastes.
- For extra sour gummies, add a small pinch of citric acid to the mixture.
- These treats are fun for kids and make great party snacks.
