Description

Sweet jello candy melts deliver a nostalgic rainbow treat that dazzles dessert lovers. Colorful, jiggly morsels create playful magic perfect for parties, bringing smiles and childhood memories with each delightful bite.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 (3 ounces/85 grams) box flavored Jello (any flavor)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (or candy melts)

Binding/Melting Agents:

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening

Instructions

  1. Prepare a microwave-safe vessel, combining white chocolate chips with coconut oil. Gently heat in short bursts, stirring between intervals until the mixture transforms into a silky, uniform liquid.
  2. Incorporate the selected Jello powder, whisking thoroughly to ensure complete integration. Observe the vibrant color and aromatic flavor emerging as the powder blends seamlessly into the molten chocolate base.
  3. Select your preferred candy configuration: carefully transfer the liquid mixture into intricately designed silicone molds, creating precisely shaped confections. Alternatively, artfully pipe delicate circular droplets onto parchment paper, crafting freeform candy delights.
  4. Allow the candies to stabilize and solidify naturally at ambient room temperature for approximately half an hour. For expedited results, utilize refrigeration to accelerate the hardening process, reducing setting time to roughly fifteen minutes.
  5. Once fully set, gently extract the candies from their molds or carefully lift the parchment paper. Inspect each morsel for a glossy, smooth finish that promises a delectable sensory experience.

Notes

  • Customize flavors by selecting different Jello powder colors and tastes for unique candy varieties.
  • Prevent chocolate from burning by microwaving in short intervals and stirring thoroughly between each round.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate chips for smoother melting and better texture in your final candy melts.
  • Store candy melts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, ensuring they remain fresh and crisp.
