Ingredients
- 1 box (3 oz) of flavored Jello (your choice of flavor)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Cornstarch (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, pour the Jello powder and add powdered sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine softened butter, corn syrup, and vanilla extract (if using). Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Slowly add the Jello mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. Add more powdered sugar if necessary to reach the desired consistency.
- Shape the Candies: Lightly dust your hands with cornstarch and pinch off small pieces of the dough. Roll into balls or press into candy molds. If shaping by hand, flatten them slightly with your fingers.
- Chill: Place the candies on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 30-45 minutes to set.
- Serve or Store: Once the Jello Candy Melts have firmed up, they are ready to serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Enjoy your easy and tasty No-Bake Jello Candy Melts!
