How to Make Stranger Things Strawberry Bubble Gum
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup gum base, 1 packet strawberry Kool-Aid powder, and 1/2 cup light corn syrup.
- Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir thoroughly.
- Microwave for another 30 seconds, and mix again until well combined and smooth.
- Create a large pile of granulated sugar (about 2 cups) on a non-stick surface (such as parchment paper or a silicone mat). Use your hand to form a well or funnel in the center.
- Carefully pour the warm gum mixture into the sugar well. Begin to incorporate the sugar into the gum by mixing and kneading with your hands.
- Continue mixing and kneading the gum, gradually adding more sugar as needed, until it becomes less sticky and more pliable. The longer you knead, the chewier the gum will be.
- Roll out the gum to a 1/2-inch thickness on a lightly sugared surface.
- Using a pizza cutter or pastry cutter, cut the gum into your desired shapes (hearts for Valentine's Day are perfect!).
- Lightly toss the cut gum pieces in powdered sugar to prevent sticking. Place them in your prepared candy cartons.
