How to Make Kool-Aid Gummy Worms
Are you looking for a fun and easy way to add a splash of color and excitement to your next party or event? Look no further than making your own Kool-Aid Gummy Worms! These delightful treats are a hit with both kids and adults, and they are surprisingly simple to make. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating your own batch of Kool-Aid Gummy Worms, so you can enjoy them at your next gathering.
Ingredients
Before you start, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 packet of Kool-Aid drink mix (any flavor)
– 1 cup of sugar
– 1 cup of water
– 1 teaspoon of gelatin
– Food coloring (optional)
– Gummy worm candy molds
Instructions
1. Begin by boiling 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Once it’s boiling, remove it from the heat and add the Kool-Aid drink mix and sugar. Stir until the sugar and Kool-Aid have completely dissolved.
2. In a separate bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup of cold water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to bloom.
3. After the gelatin has bloomed, pour the gelatin mixture into the Kool-Aid mixture and stir until well combined.
4. If you wish to add food coloring, do so now. Stir the mixture until the color is evenly distributed.
5. Pour the mixture into your gummy worm candy molds. If you don’t have molds, you can use a spoon to drop the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Place the molds or baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the gummies have set.
7. Once the gummies are set, carefully remove them from the molds or baking sheet. If they are sticking, you can dip the bottom of the mold in warm water to help release the gummies.
8. Enjoy your homemade Kool-Aid Gummy Worms as a fun and colorful snack or party favor!
Conclusion
Making Kool-Aid Gummy Worms is a fun and rewarding activity that can be enjoyed by the whole family. Not only are they delicious, but they also add a touch of whimsy to any event. So why not give it a try and create your own batch of these delightful treats? Happy crafting!
