These sweet little gumdrops made with applesauce and Jello are a great project to do with children. The candy set up beautifully and the kids had a lot of fun picking which mini cookie cutters to use. You can use any flavor you'd like, as long as it is the correct type of Jello. Pay close attention to the ounces on the box. You want a 6oz. box, or two 3 oz. boxes.
We had a few random boxes in the pantry, so we used a combination of watermelon and pineapple. This makes a large amount of gumdrops. We kept ours stored in a tupperware on the counter. It kept well for about a week at room temperature in that tupperware. Don't throw out your scraps, simply cut those up too for some silly shapes.
I've been meaning to pick up tiny little cookie cutters for a while now, and big surprise, I still haven't gotten around to it. I had to use mini cookie cutters that were Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas themed, but the kids didn't mind at all. After trying this recipe and seeing how easy it is to make gumdrops, I will be sure to invest in new mini cookie cutters to use. I'm hoping to find a way to make sour gummies, since those are our favorites.
Many thanks to Mom On Timeout for this recipe. Enjoy!
