Ingredients
- 2 cups Candy Melts (white or light-colored)
- 1-2 drops Red Gel Food Coloring
- 1 package Gummy Teeth Candies
- ½ cup Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Shortening or Coconut Oil (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the Candy Melts: Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently, until fully melted and smooth. If using, mix in the shortening or coconut oil for a shinier finish.
- Add Color: Once melted, add a few drops of red gel food coloring. Stir well until the color is evenly distributed.
- Prepare the Mold: Spread cornstarch evenly in a shallow dish to prevent sticking.
- Shape the Teeth: Dip the gummy teeth into the melted candy mixture, ensure they are coated thoroughly. Lift them out, allowing excess to drip off, and place them onto the cornstarch-covered dish.
- Set the Candy: Allow them to sit for about an hour until fully hardened.
- Add Blood Effect: Drizzle extra melted red candy over the white candy-coated teeth and let them cool again for 10-15 minutes.
