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
-
Prepare Your Gummies: Place your assorted gummies into a bowl.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!).
-
Add to Your Candy Setup:
- Place your toasted marshmallows on top of the gummy layer to mimic the “lava” effect.
-
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!
-
Enjoy Your Treat:
- Grab a spoon or your hands and dig in, enjoying the sweet combination of flavors and the exciting presentation!
