This recipe makes 3 different colors and flavors of these gumdrops so the steps will be repeated 3 times.
Grease 3 8x8 square pans.
Get 3 small bowls and add ½ cup cold water to each bowl.
Sprinkle 3 envelopes of gelatin over each bowl of water.
Meanwhile in a small saucepan bring ¾ cup of water and 1 ½ cups of sugar to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly.
Add one bowl of gelatin, reduce heat, stir and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in 2 drops cinnamon oil and a couple drops of red food coloring.
Pour this mix into one of the 8x8 pans.
Repeat steps 5-8 again, this time using the green food coloring and mint extract.
Repeat steps 5-8 again this time with no food coloring and the peppermint extract.
Refrigerate all three pans for 3 hours.
After 3 hours run a knife along the edges of each pan and cut into 4 pieces.
Using a spatula lift each square out and place on a piece of parchment paper.
Using a knife cut each piece of candy into little squares.
Let the gumdrop squares sit at room temperature overnight.
When ready pour about 2 cups of sugar into a baking dish or bowl and place the gumdrops squares in.
Toss them around to coat with sugar and place back on parchment paper.
Serve!
