Ingredients
- 1 cup Gum Base
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1/2 cup Light Corn Syrup
- 2 tablespoons Glycerin
- 1 teaspoon Citric Acid
- 1 teaspoon Pomegranate Flavoring
- Cube Shaped Molds
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workstation: Get everything ready and clean up that mess! You want a tidy kitchen, not a bloody war zone.
- Mix the Gum Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gum base and powdered sugar. Use your hands to knead it together until it’s well mixed. Don’t be a wimp; get in there!
- Add the Syrup and Glycerin: Slowly pour in the light corn syrup and glycerin. Mix it in thoroughly. If it’s not coming together, add a tiny splash of water, but don’t drown it!
- Flavor It Up: Stir in the citric acid and pomegranate flavoring. You want that flavor to punch you in the face, so don’t skimp on it.
- Mold It: Once everything is mixed, it should be a stiff, pliable dough. Press the mixture firmly into your cube-shaped molds. Make sure to pack it tightly; you’re not making a bloody soufflé here!
- Set It: Let the molds sit for about 2 hours at room temperature. If you’re in a hurry, stick them in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Unmold and Cut: Once set, carefully remove the candy from the molds. If they don’t come out easily, you’ve done something wrong. Give them a light tap, but don’t smash them!
- Final Touch: Dust the cubes with a bit of powdered sugar to prevent them from sticking together.
And there you have it! A simple yet delicious Japanese chewy candy that’ll have everyone begging for more. Now, get out there and show me what you’ve got! Don’t just stand there like a muppet; get cooking!
