Description

Sweet Jello candy melts bring a playful pop of color and flavor to dessert tables. Bright gelatin cubes blend creamy textures with fruity excitement, creating bite-sized treats you’ll crave at parties and gatherings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips (or candy melts)
  • 1 (3 oz / 85 g) box flavored Jello (any flavor)
  • 1 tsp / 5 ml coconut oil or vegetable shortening

Instructions

  1. Chocolate Preparation: Combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe container, gently melting through 30-second intervals while stirring periodically until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
  2. Flavor Infusion: Incorporate Jello powder thoroughly into the melted chocolate mixture, ensuring complete integration that transforms the color and taste profile of the confection.
  3. Molding Technique: Select your preferred shaping method – either carefully transfer the flavored chocolate into intricate silicone molds or delicately pipe elegant circular droplets onto parchment paper, creating free-form candy structures.
  4. Solidification Process: Allow the candies to stabilize at ambient room temperature for approximately half an hour, or accelerate the setting by placing them in the refrigerator for a concise 15-minute cooling period, resulting in perfectly firm, delectable candy melts.

Notes

  • Select premium white chocolate chips that melt smoothly and provide a rich, creamy base for your candy melts.
  • Heat chocolate gently in short intervals to prevent burning, stirring consistently for a smooth, glossy texture.
  • Mix different Jello powder colors and flavors to create unique, vibrant candy variations that surprise taste buds.
  • Use silicone molds for precise shapes or practice piping skills to create professional-looking, free-form candy melts with consistent sizes.
