Kool-Aid Gummy Treats

Make quick, colorful, and chewy Kool-Aid Gummy Treats with this fast and easy recipe. Using simple ingredients like Kool-Aid powder, gelatin, sugar, and water, you can whip up vibrant, flavorful gummies in under 15 minutes. Perfect for kids, parties, or last-minute snacks, these homemade gummies are customizable and fun to make.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: About 20 gummies (depending on mold size)

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Kool-Aid Powder: 1 packet (any flavor)
  • Gelatin: 3 tablespoons (unflavored)
  • Cold Water: 1 cup
  • Sugar or Honey: 1/4 cup (adjust to taste)
  • Optional: Citric Acid: 1/2 teaspoon (for extra tartness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients including Kool-Aid powder, gelatin, sugar or honey, and cold water. Using cold water helps prevent gelatin clumps.
  2. Bloom the Gelatin: Sprinkle gelatin over cold water in a small bowl. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it absorbs the water and becomes gelatinous.
  3. Heat and Mix: Transfer the bloomed gelatin to a saucepan and warm on low heat, stirring constantly until fully dissolved. Whisk in Kool-Aid powder and sugar until smooth and fully dissolved. Avoid boiling to preserve gelatin’s setting ability.
  4. Pour into Molds: Carefully pour the mixture into silicone molds, ice cube trays, or a shallow dish for gummy sheets. Ensure even filling for consistent texture.
  5. Chill Until Set: Refrigerate molds for at least 1 hour or until gummies are firm and chewy.
  6. Pop Out and Enjoy: Remove gummies gently from molds and store them airtight in the fridge. Enjoy anytime!

Notes

  • Use silicone molds for easy gummy removal without breaking.
  • Keep the heat low to maintain gelatin’s setting power.
  • Taste and adjust sweetness before pouring the mixture into molds.
  • Stir Kool-Aid powder quickly to dissolve evenly and avoid clumps.
  • Store gummies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and prevent stickiness.
  • Sugar substitutes like stevia or erythritol can replace sugar, but adjust sweetness accordingly.
  • For a vegan option, substitute gelatin with agar-agar powder, noting it changes texture and setting time.
