Ingredients
- 3 cups fruit juice (your choice, such as grape, orange, or apple)
- 2 packets (0.25 oz each) unflavored gelatin
- 1/2 cup sugar (optional, adjust based on the sweetness of your juice)
- Gummy worms, gummy spiders, or candy corn for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the mixture by pouring the fruit juice into a medium saucepan and sprinkling the gelatin over the top. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
- Heat the juice mixture over low heat, stirring continuously until the gelatin dissolves completely (about 5-10 minutes).
- Add sugar if desired, stirring to melt completely, then remove from heat.
- Pour the gelatin mixture into cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
- Let the cups chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or until fully set.
- Decorate the set gelatin cups with gummy worms, spiders, or candy corn before serving.
Notes
Check your juice for the best flavor; use 100% fruit juice without added sugars. Avoid boiling the mixture, and cool slightly before pouring into cups.
