Ingredients
  

For the Gum Base
  • 1 cup Sugar Provides sweetness; reducing the sugar can balance tartness if desired.
  • 1/2 cup Corn Syrup Helps achieve the desired chewy texture; honey can be a great natural substitute.
  • 2 tablespoons Bubble Gum Base Ensure you use food-grade, concentrated flavorings to maintain consistency.
For the Flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon Flavoring Drops Use concentrated versions to enhance flavor intensity.
  • optional Food Coloring Choose gel colors for better results that pop!

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • rubber spatula
  • Spoon
  • Floured surface
  • Airtight container

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and corn syrup, stirring until they form a thick, paste-like texture.
  2. Gradually incorporate the bubble gum base into your sugar mixture, mixing with your spoon until fully blended.
  3. Transfer the mixture to a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the gum by folding and pressing it with your hands.
  4. Once the gum base is smooth, create a small dent in the center and add your concentrated flavoring drops.
  5. If you’re using food coloring, now is the time to add it. Place a few drops into the center of the gum.
  6. Once the bubble gum has achieved the desired color, divide it into portions and shape it into your preferred forms.
  7. After the bubble gum has set, place it in an airtight container to maintain its freshness.
