Ingredients
- 1 pack extra long-lasting flavor classic bubble gum (15 stick count)
- 1/3 cup simple syrup (recipe below)
- 1 cup water
- 4 teaspoon vodka
Preparation
Baking Directions:
Place 8 sticks of Extra Long-Lasting Flavor Bubble Gum in a bowl of simple syrup.
Loosely cover with plastic wrap and steep overnight to infuse pink color and flavor into syrup.
Discard gum.
Mix together bubble gum syrup, water, and vodka.
Fill 6 (2 oz.)
pop molds 3/4 full with mixture and freeze until slushy; reserve remaining mixture.
Insert pop sticks when mixture is a firm slush and freeze completely.
Use food-safe culinary snips, scissors, or mini letter cookie cutters to cut out letters and shapes from remaining bubble gum sticks.
Unmold pops and place in freezer to keep firm.
Re-fill each mold with 1 tablespoon of reserved mixture.
Coat bubble gum letters in sugar glue (recipe below) and adhere to pops.
Submerge pops back in molds so mixture in bottom comes up around letters and is level with top surface.
Use a skewer to straighten or adjust letters in mold if necessary.
Freeze completely.
Remove pops from molds and serve on ice in a large bowl.
