Instructions

1. Pour the water into a microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle with the gelatin. Allow it to sit for five minutes.
2. Microwave the bowl with gelatin for 15 seconds at a time until it completely dissolves.
3. Pour the mixture into a separate bowl and mix in confectioners’ sugar 1 cup at a time until it forms a dough. If the dough is a bit too sweet for your taste, add a pinch of salt.
4. Add flavoring or extract if you desire, either to the entire recipe or to smaller batches for a variety of tastes.
5. Split up the dough. Add two drops of food coloring to each section of the dough and knead it.
6. Dust a surface with confectioners’ sugar, then roll the dough into a thickness of 3/8 inch.
7. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out hearts and place them on top of a baking tray lined with wax paper or parchment.
8. Allow the hearts to dry for one to two days before using food coloring markers to write messages.
9. Tips:
10. Store the hearts at room temperature in a tightly sealed container
11. Make it a group activity and swap candies with each other
