- 1 cup Jello Powder (your choice of flavor)
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp water
Instructions
- Prepare workspace: Gather all ingredients to have everything ready for mixing.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Jello powder and confectioners’ sugar until evenly blended.
- Melt butter: Gently melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat, then allow it to cool slightly to avoid cooking the mixture when combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and water to the dry ingredient mixture; stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes cohesive and smooth.
- Shape candies: Form the mixture into small balls or discs using your hands or a mold, placing them on parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the shaped candies for about one hour until they firm up and hold their shape.

- Make sure the melted butter is not too hot, as it may affect the texture of the candy.
