Chocolate Covered Raspberry Jellies Candy
Surprise your friends and family with these old fashioned homemade Chocolate Raspberry Jellies Candy for a homemade holiday.
Ingredients
- 1.75 oz Sure Jell powdered fruit pectin (1 box)
- ¾ cup water
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 1 dram dram bottle LORANN Raspberry Flavoring (or 2 ⅛ teaspoon Raspberry Extract)
- 1 bag Wilton Dark Chocolate Candy Melts
- 1-2 tablespoons Crisco Shortening
Instructions
- In a 2-quart saucepan, mix pectin, water and baking soda; stir until foamy.
- In a separate 2-quart saucepan, mix sugar and corn syrup.
- Place both pans over high heat at the same time.
- Cook both mixtures. stirring constantly, about 4 minutes, until foam in pectin mixture has thinned and sugar mixture is boiling rapidly.
- Stirring constantly, pour pectin mixture in a slow steady stream into the boiling sugar mixture. Continue boiling one minute longer.
- Remove from heat, stir in flavoring or extract.
- Immediately pour into a greased 9x5 loaf pan or greased candy molds as I have used.
- Let stand at room temperature overnight until firm.
- Turn candy out onto wax paper sprinkled with sugar. Cut candy into ¾ inch squares with a knife dipped into warm water if you used a loaf pan.
- If you used candy molds turn the candy out and roll in sugar.
- Allow candy to air dry over night before dipping in chocolate.
- Dip squares or molded jellies into melted chocolate. Return to wax paper until hardened.
