Ingredients:
- RED GUMMY CANDY:
- 2/3 Cup water, cold
- 6 Oz. flavored red vegan gelatin
- 1/2 Oz. unflavored vegan gelatin
- WHITE GUMMY CANDY:
- 2 Tbsps unflavored vegan gelatin
- 1/3 Cup water, cold
- 2 Tbsps sweetened condensed milk

- GREEN GUMMY CANDY:
- 2 Tbsps unflavored vegan gelatin
- 1/3 Cup water, cold

- Green food coloring
- Melted chocolate
- Mini chocolate chips
- MATERIALS:
- 2 removable 5” springform pans (like this)
- 4 1/2” and 4” round cutters
- Kitchen scissors
- Piping bag
Helpful Tip: All cutting should be done by an adult.
Directions:
1. Spray the 5” removable springform pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
2.Combine cold water, red vegan gelatin, and unflavored vegan gelatin in a microwavable bowl to create the red gummy candy. Whisk together, then let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to allow the gelatin to soak up the water and soften.
3. Microwave the bowl for 1 minute, then whisk well. Once the sugar has dissolved and the mixture looks clear, pour it into the pan. Refrigerate for about an hour.
4. Remove the gummy from the pan and cut it out using a 4” round cutter. Spray the pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray again and place the red gummy candy in the middle.
5. To make the white gummy candy, combine the gelatin with 3 tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl and whisk together. Let it sit and soften for 5 minutes. Combine the remaining water, sweetened condensed milk, and sugar in a small saucepan. Heat the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and it comes to a simmer. Add the gelatin and whisk until it dissolves. Pour the white gelatin around the red gummy candy in the pan. Refrigerate for an hour.
6. Remove the gummy candy from the pan and cut it out using a 4 1/2” round cutter. Spray the pan lightly with nonstick cooking spray again and place the cutout gummy candy back in the middle.
7. To make the green gummy candy, repeat the same process you followed to create the white, only add in green food coloring. Once the sugar in the mixture has fully dissolved, pour the green gelatin around the red and white gelatin in the pan. Refrigerate for an hour.
8. Remove from the pan and slice into 6 slices.
9. Press the mini chocolate chips into the gelatin to create the base for Mickey. Melt chocolate then transfer it into a pipping bag and snip off the end. Pipe Mickey’s ears directly onto the gummies.
