<span style="font-size: 20px; color: rgb(255,235,0); line-height: 29px;">How it is made
<span style="color: rgb(0,128,0);">There are many flavors of gum, but they are all made of about the same ingredients,gum base, sweeteners, primarily sugar, resins from tropical trees, materials such as polyvinyl acetate, wax,and sometimes rubber. Corn syrup, sugar and artificial favor are also things they add. Some gum, like Trident, And Stride, has Xylitol, which helps your teeth fight cavities. Trident also cleans and protects teeth. Other gum, such as Stride has edible gum wrappers! Follow these instructions, to make kid-friendly gum <span style="font-size: 130%; color: rgb(0,0,0);">

recipe is ready in 30-60 minutes Ready in: 30-60 minutes recipe difficulty 3/5 Difficulty: 3 (1=easiest :: hardest=5)

Serves/Makes: .5 lb.

Ingredients: 1/3 cup Gum Base 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar 3 tablespoons Corn Syrup 1 teaspoon Glycerine 1/2 teaspoon Citric Acid 5 drops Flavoring Turn this recipe into a puzzle! [click]

Directions:

Into a microwave safe or heat resistant dish, place the Gum Base, Citric Acid, Corn Syrup with Glycerine and flavoring mixture.

Microwave Method: Place all of the gum base into a microwave safe dish. Heat the gum base on high for 1 minute. Remove the gum base from the oven and stir it. If it has not melted, place it back in the oven and heat for 30 more seconds. Stir it again and repeat heating until the gum base is gooey.

Stove top Method: Place the gum base in a heat resistant dish that will fit in a sauce pan of boiling water. Cover the pan and bring the water to a boil. Turn the heat down so the water is at a simmer. Heat the gum base until it becomes gooey. This can take up to 10 minutes. Be sure not to let the water boil dry.

Measure out 1 heaping tablespoon of powdered sugar and set it aside for later. Pour out about one half of the remaining powdered sugar onto your work surface. Make a well in the middle of the pile.

Pour the melted gum base mixture into the well. The gum base may still be hot but it will cool quickly.

Dip your fingers in the powdered sugar and begin kneading the gum base and sugar together. Work it as if your are kneading bread dough. Add more of the powdered sugar when ever the dough gets sticky. Continue adding sugar until you have a smooth, stiff dough. You must knead the gum dough until all the sugar is worked in. This will take at least 15 minutes. The more kneading the better. Kneading too little will cause the gum to break up when chewed.

Now it's time to roll out your bubble gum and cut it into pieces. You can make a rope about 1/2 inch in diameter and then cut individual pieces about 1/2 inch long. Using a scissors make this very easy. If you like your gum in sticks, roll out the gum with a rolling pin and then cut out the strips with your scissors.

Dust all of the gum pieces with the tablespoon of powdered sugar we set aside. Store your bubble gum in a ziplock bag. You can wrap individual pieces in wax paper too!
