Ingredients
- Ingredients: shopping list
- 2 envelopes of unflavored gelatin shopping list
- ½ cup cold water shopping list
- 2 cups sugar shopping list
- ¾ cup hot water shopping list
- 1 cup light corn syrup, divided shopping list
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract shopping list
- confectioners' sugar shopping list
- 1 ½ pounds white candy coating, melted shopping list
- Red and Yellow paste food coloring shopping list
- ½ cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips shopping list
- Non-stick cooking spray shopping list
How to make it
- Coat a 13-inch x 9-inch pan and a 9-inch square pan with cooking spray; set aside. In a bowl, combine gelatin and cold water; let stand for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the sugar, hot water and ½ cup corn syrup. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 238F. ( soft-ball stage ). Remove from the heat; stir in the remaining corn syrup.
- Pour into a large bowl. Beat on high speed; gradually add gelatin mixture by tablespoonfuls until well blended. Continue beating until fluffy and thickened, about 10 minutes. Stir in vanilla; mix well. Pour into prepared pans. Let stand, uncovered, overnight.
- Cut with a flower-shaped cookie cutter coated with cooking spray. Dip flowers in confectioners' sugar, brush off excess. In a microwave or heavy saucepan, melt candy coating; cool for 5 minutes. Divide candy coating in half; tint one portion pink and the other yellow. Using an icing knife, cover the flowers with candy coating. Place on waxed paper-lined pans. Sprinkle chocolate chips in center of flowers. Yield: 21 ( 3-inch ) flowers.
