Jolly Rancher Taffy Poppers
I’m sure you hear how taffy is made. Well, I'll get a bag of Jolly Ranchers and melt it down to liquid and I pour it in a bottle I can squeeze it out of like a big eye dropper.
Ingredients
- 3-.23 oz. packets Kool-Aid Drink Mix any flavor
- 2 ¼ cups powdered coffee creamer
- 5 teaspoons water
- 12 Jolly Rancher hard candies any flavor
Instructions
- First make prison taffy: mix the Kool-Aid, creamer and water in a plastic zip-top bag. Knead the taffy in the bag until it’s fully mixed, then set aside.
- Melt the jolly ranchers in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Watch the candy carefully so it doesn’t burn.
- In the meantime, knead the taffy again to fully incorporate, then divide into 10 balls. Press your finger or the end of a spoon into the top of each ball of taffy to make an indentation for the candy.
- Spoon about ½ teaspoon of melted candy into each indentation, taking care not to touch the hot candy with your bare hands.
- Working quickly, pull the sides of the taffy up and around the toffee and roll between your hands to make a smooth ball with a candy center. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
Editor’s notes:
- If the candy begins to harden while you’re making these, warm it again slightly over low heat.
