Chewing Gum

Materials Needed:
one oz. package of bubble gum base
one and a half teaspoon of bubble gum flavor
volumetric measuring cup
two small cookie cutters(3/4 in.)
one and a half tablespoons of corn syrup
one cup of confectioners sugar
microwave safe mixing bowl
wooden mixing spoon
measuring spoons
oven mitt
rolling pin(optional)
wax paper

Instructions
1. First thing's first wash your hands
2. If the corn syrup is not liquified, put the bottle in a pot of hot
water to liquify it.
3. Put one cup of confectioners sugar in the microwave safe mixing
bowl and make a crater in the center.
4. Empty the one oz. package of bubblegum base into the crater and put
the bowl in the microwave on meidium to meidium high for 15
seconds.Wearing a oven mitt carefully remove the container and press
against the bubble gum with the wooden spoon. If the bubble gum is
soft and mushy, remove it.If not microwave it like before until it's
soft and easy to mash with a wooden spoon.
5. When the base is soft, add one and a half tablespoons of liquified
corn syrup and heat again on meidium high for another 15 seconds and
remove from microwave.
6. With the wooden spoon, mix the bubble gum base, the corn syrup and
the sugar until they are about halfway mixed together, then add one
half teaspoons of bubble gum flavor and continue mixing until it is
blended together.When the mixture has cooled and it gets hard to stir,
kead it with your hands. The consistency you should have will be
similar to cookie dough. Once you have a soft dough like lump of pink
bubble gum place it on a sheet of wax paper dusted with confectioners
sugar.
7. Now you are ready to shape the bubble gum. You can flaten it with
your hands or with a rolling pin and cut it with a bubble gum cutter
in to the shape you desire.
8. After you have cut the bubble gum let the bubble gum dry for one
hour, then lightly dust each peice with confectioner's sugar and store
them in a air-tight container. If you want to you can wrap each piece
of bubble gum individualy in wax paper instead of storing them in
container, if you do the gum should stay fresh for to weeks.
9. When you are cleaning the mixing bowl ad the wooden spoon try to
wipe off most of the mixture with a paper towel before washing. Then
wash them with warm water and soap."
