- 1/3 cup of water
- 2 package of 1/4 oz. gelatin (unflavored)
- 1 package 3oz. flavored gelatin (flavor/color depends on you…I went with lime green.)
- Shamrock Candy mold (I bought mine at a local craft store)
- Lolly pop sticks
- Paper straws..if you have them and want to use them to dress up the lolly pop sticks.
- Corn starch
Fill a pot with 1/3 cup of water and sprinkle unflavored gelatin and flavored gelatin into water and give it a quick stir. Let it sit on the counter for about 10 minutes. Transfer pot to the stove and cook on medium heat on the stove for about 3-5 minutes, until all of the gelatin has dissolved.

| This is obviously not the lime green flavor 🙂 |
Pour the mixture into the cavities carefully and then insert your candy sticks into the mold.I give them a little turn to coat the entire stick so that it sets nicely.Try not to overfill the mold, stop pouring a little before it has reached the edge so that when you add the stick, it doesn’t overflow.
Let it sit out on the counter for about 20 minutes, until set. Resist the urge to check on them before they set or they will shift and spill if not totally set. After they have completely set, dust the back of the mold with cornstarch to off set the stickiness. Peel out of the mold.
You can use any mold you can find, they tend to carry them in local crafts stores. Just be sure that when you buy it, that the mold has a bit of depth to it. The one I used was quite shallow and it probably would have worked out much better if it was deeper, although my kids still loved them 🙂
