Ingredients
  

Candy Ingredients
  • 1 pack (3 oz) Jello powder (any flavor you like)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup corn syrup
  • 3 tbsp unflavored gelatin (ensure it’s halal-certified)
  • 1/2 cup water

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Begin by setting up your kitchen. Gather all your ingredients, mixing bowls, and a baking dish lined with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the Jello powder and unflavored gelatin. Whisk until well combined.
  3. Add Water and Heat: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  4. Mix Everything Together: Carefully pour the boiling mixture into the bowl with the Jello and gelatin. Mix vigorously until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
  5. Pour and Set: Pour the colorful mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Allow it to cool at room temperature for about 20-30 minutes, or until set.
  6. Cut and Enjoy: Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the Jello Candy Melts into bite-sized pieces. Feeling creative? Dust them with powdered sugar or cocoa powder for an extra touch!

Notes

To store your Jello Candy Melts, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about a week. Freeze in a freezer-safe container for longer storage.
