Ingredients
  

  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup isomalt
  • teaspoon lemon extract or your flavor of choice
  • teaspoon watermelon extract or your flavor of choice
  • teaspoon green gel food coloring
  • teaspoon purple gel food coloring
  • ¼ teaspoon white gel food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Lightly grease a round or jewel mold. Wipe clean and just leave a bit of oil residue.
  • In a pot over high heat, stir together the isomalt and water. It will be white at first and clumpy. Continue to stir until it begins to simmer. It will begin to melt and turn clear as it boils. Then let it simmer until it reaches a temperature of 320°F and is clear.
  • While the isomalt is coming to a boil, prepare two measuring cups with spouts. One with each flavor and color of food gel. Both bowls will get a drop of white food coloring.
  • Quickly pour the isomalt in equal distribution between each prepped measuring cup. Stir the isomalt in each cup until the food coloring is mixed in completely. Be sure to scrape the sides and bottom to ensure you got all clumps of food coloring mixed in.
  • Pour the syrup into the molds, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Let the candies cool at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
  • If you plan to combine the colors, when the candies are cool enough to handle but still tacky, flip half of the candies out on to the separate color so that half of the candy is still in the mold.
  • Transfer the candies to the fridge to finish cooling, about 30 minutes. Tap the candies out of the molds.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Serve to unsuspecting first years and enjoy while skiving off class!
