Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. Prepare your workspace: Gather all necessary ingredients and ensure you have parchment paper and a mixing bowl ready before starting.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine 1 cup of Jello powder with 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar to create an even base mixture.
  3. Melt butter: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter carefully, then remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly to prevent cooking the other ingredients.
  4. Combine wet and dry: Add the melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of water to the dry mixture. Stir continuously until the ingredients form a smooth, well-incorporated dough-like consistency.
  5. Shape candies: Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into small balls or flatten into disc shapes. Place each piece on parchment-lined baking sheets to prevent sticking.
  6. Chill to set: Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator and chill for about one hour, or until the candy pieces are firm and hold their shape.

Notes

  • Use any Jello flavor to customize the candy to your liking.
  • For a firmer texture, chill the candies longer before serving.
  • Store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent melting.
  • If you want a sweeter treat, you can slightly increase the confectioners’ sugar but be careful not to alter the texture too much.
