Homemade Conversation Hearts Yield: Makes 50-70 hearts Prep Time: 1 hour Total Time: 1 hour Ingredients: 1 1/4-ounce packet unflavored gelatin powder 1 tablespoon light corn syrup 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/8 teaspoon salt 2 pounds confectioners' sugar (about 8 cups), plus more for kneading Assorted food coloring, for tinting Assorted extracts (such as peppermint, strawberry or almond), for flavoring (optional) Cooking spray Food decorating pens, for writing Directions: In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk the gelatin, corn syrup, vanilla, salt and 1/2 cup boiling water until the gelatin dissolves. Switch to the paddle attachment and beat in the confectioners' sugar on medium-low speed, 1 cup at a time, to make a stiff, sticky dough. Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead, adding more confectioners' sugar as needed (up to 1 cup), until the dough is smooth, pliable and slightly tacky, about 5 minutes. Divide the dough into 4 pieces. Flatten 1 piece into a disk and cover the rest with plastic wrap. Add a few drops each of food coloring and extract to the center of the dough and knead until the color is distributed. Lightly coat a large piece of parchment paper with cooking spray. Roll the dough out on the parchment until 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut into hearts using 1-inch cookie cutters and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough, using different colors and extracts. Let the hearts sit at room temperature, uncovered, until dry and hard, about 24 hours, flipping them halfway through. Write messages on the hearts using food decorating pens. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week. ![]() |
