# Ingredient List:

→ Jellyfish Gummies

01 - 1 cup fruit juice (apple, grape, or berry)
02 - 2 tablespoons powdered gelatin or vegetarian agar-agar
03 - 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - Food coloring (optional; blue, pink, purple)
05 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice

11 - 1 cup blue raspberry candy belts, cut into strips
12 - 1 cup rock candy
13 - 1 cup candy pearls or edible sugar pearls

# How to Make:

01 - Warm the fruit juice and sugar gently in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves. Sprinkle gelatin over the mixture and stir until completely dissolved. Add food coloring and lemon juice. Pour into jellyfish-shaped silicone molds or alternative molds for body and tentacles. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes until firm.
02 - In a separate saucepan, warm coconut water and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Incorporate gelatin and selected food coloring. Pour into shallow molds or a baking dish. Chill for 30 minutes, then trim into seaweed or wave shapes.
03 - Arrange jellyfish gummies centrally on a large serving tray. Affix gummy worms and candy strips beneath each jellyfish to resemble tentacles. Distribute decorative jellies, rock candy, and edible pearls around to mimic underwater scenery.
04 - Maintain the assembled platter chilled until serving to preserve texture and presentation quality.
