I have seen this recipe on Pinterest from many different bloggers and thought they looked really awesome, so I decided I would like to make them.  This is my take on this recipe.  I think they’re more jell-o than a gumdrop.

I also think that you needed to make sure you use the Larger Sugar Crystals and ONLY sprinkle on top of each gumdrop or it makes the Jell-O gumdrops get gooey and  wet.  These gumdrops would be fun for a birthday party for younger children that like Jell-O Jigglers.

When I made these gumdrops I used red medium sugar and granulated sugar, I didn’t like how they turned out.  So, I would recommend using the larger sugar crystals.

Jell-O Gumdrops

*
I Makes 45-50 small gumdrops, depends on your size of mold shapes

*
*Silicone Molds, your choice

*Pam Cooking Spray, very important for spraying molds

*2 envelops Knox Original Gelatin, unflavored

*1/2 cup granulated Sugar

*1/2 cup Hot Water

*1/2 cup Cold Water

*1 3 ounce box Raspberry Jell-O or Jell-O flavor of your choice

*1-2 teaspoons Raspberry Extract, or Extract to go with your Jell-O flavor

*Large Sugar Crystals, optional

*
Bring water and sugar to boil in a sauce pan. Then remove from heat and add the unflavored gelatin and flavored Jell-O, stirring until dissolved. Pour mixture into Pam spray molds and refrigerate until firm 4 hours or best overnight.

*
In the morning remove from the fridge and allow the gumdrops to come to room temperature.

Then remove the gumdrops from the molds and allow them to dry on wax paper or Silpat. Sprinkle with sugar crystals, let gumdrops set overnight or if you leave them plain you can eat them right away.

 

Enjoy!
