Preparation
- Grease three 8x8 square pans to prevent sticking.
- In three small bowls, add ½ cup of cold water to each.
- Sprinkle 3 envelopes of gelatin over each bowl and let bloom for a few minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine ¾ cup of water and 1 ½ cups of sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Once boiling, add the first bowl of gelatin to the sugar mixture, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring continuously.
- Remove from heat, stir in 2 drops of cinnamon oil and red food coloring. Pour into one of the greased pans.
- Repeat steps for the second batch using green food coloring and mint extract, and for the final batch using peppermint extract without color.
- Refrigerate all three pans for at least 3 hours until fully set.
- After chilling, run a knife along the edges, cut into 4 pieces, and lift with a spatula to transfer to parchment paper.
- Cut each square into smaller pieces.
- Let sit at room temperature overnight to firm up.
- Toss gumdrop squares in 2 cups of sugar to coat, then serve.
