Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 package (0.3 oz) Kool-Aid Powder (choose your favorite flavor)
  • 3 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
  • 1 cup cold water
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar or honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gelatin Mixture: Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin evenly over 1 cup of cold water and let it bloom for about 5 minutes to ensure a smooth gummy texture without lumps.
  2. Heat and Dissolve Ingredients: Warm the gelatin mixture gently over low heat. Stir in the Kool-Aid powder and sugar or honey until fully dissolved, creating a smooth and vibrant liquid. Avoid boiling to preserve flavor and texture.
  3. Add Extra Flavor: If desired, stir in lemon juice for a bright, tangy boost that complements the sweetness and enhances fruitiness without overpowering the classic Kool-Aid taste.
  4. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the warm mixture into silicone molds or a shallow pan lined with parchment paper. Molds create fun shapes, while a pan allows easy cutting into bite-sized pieces.
  5. Chill Until Set: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until the gummies are fully firm and chewy.
  6. Remove and Store: Gently pop gummies out of the molds or slice squares if using a pan. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerate for extended freshness.

Notes

  • Avoid boiling the gelatin mixture to maintain best flavor and texture.
  • Use silicone molds of various fun shapes for creative presentations.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness before chilling for your preferred balance.
  • Allow gelatin to bloom fully in cold water to prevent lumps.
  • Store gummies in airtight containers to keep them from drying out or sticking.
