Important Notes

⚠️

Be very careful when handling the gum base and corn syrup mixture as it will be extremely hot after melting.

⚠️

The gum base might not be available in all supermarkets. You may need to order it online; the video description provides a potential source.

⚠️

You can customize the flavor with any powdered drink mix, like Jello or Kool-Aid. Adjust the amount to your personal taste.

⚠️

Keep your hands, rolling pin, and work surface well-dusted with confectioner's sugar throughout the kneading process to prevent the gum from sticking.
