Homemade Swedish Fish Candy

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• 1 (6 ounce) package fruit flavored gelatin (cherry or fruit punch is probably closest to the original flavor)
• 7 (1/4 ounce) packages unflavored gelatin
• 1/2 cup cold water
• candy molds

Recipe

• 1 combine the dry ingredients. stir the flavored and unflavored gelatin in a saucepan until well incorporated.
• 2 add 1/2 cup cold water to the gelatin mixture and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula. the gelatin should clump up into a large, messy ball.
• 3 move the saucepan to the stove set heat to medium or medium-low heat. stir the mixture until it has melted back into liquid form. be sure to constantly stir the mixture so that it does not burn.
• 4 as soon as the mixture has completely liquefied, remove it from the heat. using a small spoon, scoop the mixture into the molds, gently tapping the mold each time on the counter top to get the mixture to into each crack of the fish mold.
• 5 put the filled mold into the freezer for about 15 minutes. this will freeze the mixture enough for you to easily remove the fish from their molds.
• 6 remove the swedish fish and enjoy. take the fish mold out of the freezer and remove the fish before they have had a chance to thaw. if you wait too long, the fish will be harder to remove. let the fish sit at room temperature for a little while to defrost, and then enjoy.
