Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 60 grams Chewing gum base
- 250 grams Powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons Corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Glycerin
- 1 teaspoon Bubblegum flavoring
- 2 drops Food coloring (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
Instructions
Prepare your workspace by dusting it with cornstarch to prevent sticking.
Place the gum base in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it in 30-second intervals until fully melted, stirring in between.
Once the gum base has melted, stir in the corn syrup, glycerin, bubblegum flavoring, and food coloring if using.
Gradually add half of the powdered sugar to the melted mixture, stirring it in until it thickens and becomes difficult to mix.
Transfer the gum mixture onto the cornstarch-dusted surface and slowly knead in the remaining powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and elastic.
Roll the gum into a large ball, then shape or cut it into bite-sized pieces using a knife or cookie cutter as desired.
Wrap each piece of gum in wax paper or plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
Allow the gum to rest for at least 1-2 hours before chewing to enhance the texture and flavor.
