Follow these easy steps to craft your very own bubble gum. The process is simple and fun!

1. Prepare the Workspace: Clear a clean surface to work on. You may want to dust it with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
2. Melt the Gum Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the gum base and corn syrup. Heat in 30-second intervals until melted, stirring in between.
3. Mix Ingredients: Once melted, stir in the powdered sugar until it’s well combined. It may take hard mixing with a spatula to integrate everything.
4. Add Flavoring: Pour in your chosen flavoring and any food coloring, if using. Combine thoroughly until the color is uniformly distributed.
5. Knead the Mixture: Transfer the mixture to your powdered sugar-dusted surface. Knead the dough-like mixture for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
6. Shape Your Gum: Once your bubble gum is well kneaded, you can form it into small balls or mold it into strips.
7. Cool and Set: Let the bubble gum set for 15-20 minutes at room temperature before chewing.

Congratulations! You’ve made your very own bubble gum.
