These Jello Candy Melts are a fun and colorful homemade treat that combines flavored gelatin powder with confectioners’ sugar and butter to create soft, melt-in-your-mouth candies.

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 Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on your workspace to ensure a smooth cooking process.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of Jello powder and 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar thoroughly to create an even dry mixture.
  3. Melt Butter: Melt 1/4 cup of unsalted butter over low heat in a saucepan, then remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly so it doesn’t cook the other ingredients prematurely.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Add the melted butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 tablespoons of water to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes well combined and sticky enough to mold.
  5. Shape Candies: With clean hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small balls or discs. Place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  6. Chill: Place the shaped candies into the refrigerator and chill for approximately 1 hour until they are firm and set.

Notes

  • You can customize the candies by using different Jello flavors to match your preference or occasion.
  • Be sure not to overheat the butter to prevent it from burning, which can affect flavor.
  • Store the candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • These candies are best enjoyed within a week for optimal taste and texture.
