Creative Candy Lava Delight

Backstory

This delightful treat combines the chewy goodness of gummies, the fluffiness of marshmallows, and a fun lava effect! Perfect for sharing with friends or just enjoying yourself.

Ingredients

• 1 cup assorted gummies (your favorite flavors)
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 2-3 marshmallows (large or mini, based on preference)
• Optional: Edible glitter for sparkle

Cooking Instructions

1. Prepare Your Gummies: Place your assorted gummies into a bowl.

2. Create the Candy Mixture:

   • Heat the boiling water.
   • In a separate bowl, gently pour the boiling water over the gummies.
   • Let them sit for a couple of minutes until they soften. This step will help them blend together nicely.

3. Mixing:

   • Using a spatula or your hands (carefully!), gently stir and spin the gummies in the water until they start to combine into a sticky mixture.
   • Once they’re gooey and stretched out, remove them from the water and roll them in granulated sugar to coat lightly. This step adds a lovely sweetness and prevents sticking.

4. Layer in Container:

   • Take a clear container (like a glass or plastic container) and add your gummy mixture into the bottom. Press it down slightly to create an even layer.

5. Toast the Marshmallows:

   • Using a stove or a safe method (like a toaster oven), carefully toast the marshmallows until they’re golden and crispy on the outside (not burning hot, just crispy!).

6. Add to Your Candy Setup:

   • Place your toasted marshmallows on top of the gummy layer to mimic the “lava” effect.

7. Light it Up:

   • Set a flashlight or your phone's flashlight underneath the container. The light will shine through the gummy mixture, creating a beautiful “lava” glow!

8. Enjoy Your Treat:

   • Grab a spoon or your hands and dig in, enjoying the sweet combination of flavors and the exciting presentation!
