1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup edible glitter or luster dust (for coating)

Instructions
Step 1:

Notes
For the clearest, smoothest gummies, whisk the gelatin slowly to avoid air bubbles — and let them chill overnight for the perfect firm-yet-chewy texture. Coat right before serving for the ultimate sparkle effect!

Ingredients
- 1 cup tequila: Choose a smooth silver or blanco tequila for the best flavor balance — something clean and crisp that lets the candy sweetness shine through.
- 1/2 cup water: Helps dissolve the gelatin and controls the gummy’s firmness.
- 1/2 cup corn syrup: Adds sweetness and elasticity, giving your gummies that perfect chewy texture.
- 1 package (3 oz) flavored gelatin: Use your favorite flavor — strawberry, blue raspberry, mango, or cherry. The color of the gelatin will determine the final shade of your gummy wands.
- 2 packages (1 oz each) unflavored gelatin: This ensures structure and stability so the wands keep their shape.
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar: For rolling and adding a light crystal crunch.
- 1/4 cup edible glitter or luster dust: To coat and create that shimmering “stardust” look. You can use gold, silver, or even holographic tones for extra magic.
- Candy molds or silicone molds (wand-shaped preferred): Silicone molds make demolding easier, but hard plastic candy molds also work if lightly greased.
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare your molds
Start by setting up your workspace. Make sure your candy molds are completely clean and dry — moisture can affect the texture of your gummies. If you’re using silicone molds, there’s no need to grease them. For hard plastic molds, lightly spray a thin layer of non-stick cooking spray, then wipe off any excess with a paper towel for a smooth finish.
Step 2: Mix the gelatin powders
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the flavored gelatin and the unflavored gelatin. Stir with a whisk or spoon until both powders are evenly blended and lump-free. This dry mix ensures even gelling later when combined with liquids.
Step 3: Prepare the liquid base
In a separate large bowl, pour in the tequila, water, and corn syrup. Whisk slowly until fully combined and smooth. The corn syrup will add thickness and help bind everything together for that signature gummy texture.
Step 4: Combine gelatin with liquid
Gradually sprinkle the gelatin mixture into the liquid base while whisking continuously. This prevents clumping and ensures the gelatin dissolves evenly. Continue whisking for 2–3 minutes until the mixture looks glossy and smooth with no visible granules.
Step 5: Heat (optional for texture)
If you prefer a slightly firmer, professional gummy texture, you can gently warm the mixture over a double boiler or in a saucepan on very low heat for 2–3 minutes. Do not let it boil — you only want the gelatin to melt completely. Stir constantly.
Step 6: Pour into molds
Carefully pour the warm gelatin mixture into your prepared molds. A small spouted measuring cup or dropper works great for neat pouring. Fill each cavity to the top for full, even wands.
Step 7: Remove air bubbles
Tap the molds gently on your countertop to release any trapped air bubbles. This step ensures smooth, bubble-free gummies once set.
Step 8: Chill and set
Transfer the filled molds to your refrigerator and let them chill for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, until completely firm. The longer they chill, the chewier and more stable the gummies become.
Step 9: Unmold the gummies
Once set, remove the molds from the fridge. Carefully flex silicone molds to release the gummies. For hard molds, gently press from the back or use a small offset spatula to loosen edges. Take your time — this keeps the wands perfectly shaped.
Step 10: Add the stardust coating
In a shallow bowl, mix together granulated sugar and edible glitter until well combined. Roll each gummy wand gently in the glitter-sugar mix until fully coated and sparkling. Shake off any excess.
Step 11: Presentation and storage
Arrange your Tequila Stardust Gummy Wands on a decorative tray or platter. Keep them chilled until serving — they hold best when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
