Goodie Goodie Gumdrops

Gumdrops

What You Need:

  • Powdered gelatin mix
  • Water
  • Eyedropper
  • Small bowl

Instructions:

  1. Fill your bowl with powered gelatin (like Jello mix).
  2. Using a medicine dropper, carefully put a single drop of water into the powder.
  3. Once that drop is absorbed, put another drop in the same place. Do this five more times, for a total of seven drops.
  4. Now, carefully scoop out the spot with a fork, and you’ll have a gumdrop!
  5. If your gumdrop is solid enough, you can use your fingers to mold it into a good shape, or roll it around in the gelatin powder to coat it. If desired you can also sprinkle your drops with sugar for flavor.

Tip:

If you don’t have an eyedropper, you can use a straw to place drops of water. It is a little harder to control the drops, but it works just as well.

Try:

What happens if you add more water? Less water?
