Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Jello Powder (your choice of flavor)
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients and set up your workspace for easy access.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Jello powder and confectioners’ sugar thoroughly to ensure an even flavor and sweetness throughout.
- Melt Butter: Gently melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat, taking care not to burn it. Once melted, remove it from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
- Combine Mixtures: Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and water to the dry ingredient mixture. Stir vigorously until you achieve a well-blended, cohesive mixture.
- Shape Candy: Using your hands or a small spoon, form the mixture into small balls or disc shapes and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Chill: Place the shaped candies in the refrigerator for about one hour to allow them to firm up completely before serving.
Notes
- You can customize the flavor by choosing your favorite Jello powder flavor, such as strawberry, lime, or orange.
- Chilling time is important to let the candies set properly; do not skip this step.
- Store finished candy melts in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- For different shapes, use molds or cutters before chilling if desired.
