Homemade Swedish Fish Candy

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

Directions

1. 1

   Combine the dry ingredients. Stir the flavored and unflavored gelatin in a saucepan until well incorporated.

2. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
