Testing a Sour Gushers Candy Recipe from TikTok! 🍬

Ingredients

• 2 cups Gushers (store‑bought fruit‑snack Gushers, any flavor (blue raspberry works best))
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar (for simple syrup, equal to water by volume)
• 1 cup Water (for simple syrup)
• 1 teaspoon Citric Acid (provides the signature sour punch; adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons Baby Bottle Pop Powder (Blue Raspberry) (blue candy‑flavored powder; gives color and flavor)
• 1 packet Jell‑O Blue Raspberry Mix (adds extra blue granules and flavor; optional if you want a deeper hue)

Instructions

1. Prepare Simple Syrup

   Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup granulated sugar in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar fully dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium heat

2. Cool Syrup Slightly

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let the simple syrup cool for 2‑3 minutes so it is warm but not scalding.

   Time: PT3M

3. Combine Gushers and Syrup

   Place 2 cups of Gushers into a large mixing bowl. Slowly pour the warm simple syrup over the Gushers, stirring gently to ensure every piece is lightly coated.

   Time: PT2M

4. Add Sour and Flavor Boosters

   Sprinkle 1 teaspoon citric acid, 2 tablespoons Baby Bottle Pop powder, and the contents of 1 packet Jell‑O blue raspberry mix over the coated Gushers. Toss gently until the powders are evenly distributed and the candy takes on a deep blue hue.

   Time: PT3M

5. Final Coat and Rest

   Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through, so the syrup and powders fully adhere to the Gushers.

   Time: PT5M

6. Store

   Transfer the finished sour blue raspberry Gushers into an airtight glass jar. Seal tightly and store at room temperature.

   Time: PT2M
