These are different than Jell-o, they're actually gummy candy!
Gummy Cars, as in Gummy Bears!
1 package unflavored gelatin
1 small package flavored Jell-o (mine were strawberry!)
1/8 cup sugar
1/4 cup ice cold water (or more, as needed)
In a microwave safe liquid measuring cup, stir together dry gelatin, Jell-o, and sugar. Pour in cold water and stir.
Let the mixture sit for a few minutes. The mixture will become gloopy and thick, you may want to add more water if it becomes thicker than frosting.
Microwave for about 1 minute, or until it begins to foam up. Remove from microwave, and carefully pour into each mold. If you are using really small molds, like actual gummy bear molds, use an eyedropper to fill. If you are doing this with kids, be careful, since the liquid will be hot when it comes out of the microwave!
Put the molds into the freezer for at least 10 minutes, up to overnight. I ended up with about 1 cup of mix to pour into my mold (or 5 cars). These are shelf-stable, but they are tasty when they been stored in the fridge in a bag or air-tight container.
These are so fun to play with and share! I took my plate to a girls night game party.
