1 package any flavor gelatin
4 packets unflavored gelatin
Any candy mold or small size silicone ice tray

Directions:
Place the cold water in a heat-proof glass measuring cup. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water while stirring with a rubber spatula. The resulting mixture will be a super-thick mass, much like clay, but keep stirring. When all the gelatin is sprinkled on, try to get all the dry bits off the side of the measuring cup and off the spatula (as well as any moist bits) and press onto the surface of the gelatin mass.

Cover the measuring cup with plastic wrap and let the mixture rest for 10 minutes. Fill a medium-sized saucepan half full with water, set over medium heat and bring the water to a simmer. Remove the plastic wrap from the measuring cup and place it in the water. Let the mass of gelatin melt, stirring occasionally and gently. When the mixture is clear, turn off the heat and let the mixture sit for 1 to 2 minutes.

Very carefully pour the hot mixture from the measuring cup into the molds. If the syrup gets too thick, you can reheat it a little. If the candies contract a fair bit as they cool, top them off with a second round of the gelatin mixture. Place the mold in the freezer for 10 minutes, then in the refrigerator for another 5 to 10 minutes. Peel them out of the molds and serve.

Eat while fresh! The longer they sit, the chewier they get.

I gave these as my wedding favors. I used raspberry and cherry flavored Jello and a silicone 1 inch Razorback mold.
