Kool-Aid Gummy Treats
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 packets of Kool-Aid any flavors of your choice
- 4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
Instructions
1️⃣ Mix the Ingredients
- In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and Kool-Aid packets.
- Stir well until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
2️⃣ Bloom the Gelatin
- Sprinkle 4 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin over the Kool-Aid mixture.
- Let it sit for 5 minutes to allow the gelatin to absorb the liquid and bloom.
3️⃣ Heat the Mixture
- Place the saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.
- Keep stirring for 3-5 minutes, until the gelatin and sugar are fully dissolved.
- Do not boil—just heat until everything is smooth.
4️⃣ Pour into Molds
- Remove from heat and carefully pour the mixture into silicone gummy molds.
- Use a dropper for precision and to avoid mess.
5️⃣ Chill Until Set
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours, or until the gummies are firm and set.
6️⃣ Pop & Enjoy!
- Once set, gently pop the gummies out of the molds and enjoy!
Notes
✅ Make Them Extra Sour – Add 1 teaspoon of citric acid to the mix for a tangy kick!
✅ Want a Stronger Flavor? – Use only ¾ cup of water instead of 1 cup for a more concentrated taste.
✅ No Silicone Molds? – Pour the mixture into a shallow dish, refrigerate, and cut into gummy squares.
✅ Vegan Option? – Substitute agar-agar powder for gelatin (use about 2 tablespoons).
✅ Mix & Match Flavors – Try combining Cherry & Lemonade for a fruit punch flavor, or Grape & Blue Raspberry for a fun twist!
