Ingredients

Directions

  1. Line a small baking pan or dish with plastic wrap, ensuring there is enough overhang for easy removal later.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the gelatin powder and granulated sugar over low heat.
  3. Stir constantly until the sugar begins to melt and the mixture thickens slightly, forming a sticky paste.
  4. Carefully pour the hot mixture into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  5. Allow the fudge to cool at room temperature for 20 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 45 minutes until firm.
  6. Lift the fudge out of the pan using the plastic wrap overhang and cut into small squares.
