This is a fun thing to make with your kids, and hand out at Christmas time. NOTE: You will need a hot-glue gun. **Sorry for not being sure about some of the weights like with the gum. I searched forever looking for it but couldn't find it and they wouldn't let me post without a weight. Altough there was no need for a weight...**

  • Use a variety of molds: To create different shapes of candy, use a variety of molds, such as chocolate molds, candy molds, and even ice cube trays. You can also use cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the melted candy.
  • Decorate your candy: Once the candy has cooled and hardened, you can decorate it with a variety of toppings, such as sprinkles, nuts, and edible glitter. You can also use food coloring to add color to the candy.
  • Store your candy properly: Store your candy in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Candy can last for several weeks if stored properly.
