Food coloring as much as you like

# Instructions:
01 -
Once you've melted everything, let it sit a few minutes so it's easier to handle.
02 -
Roll or squish the dough into strips or balls. For that sour kick, toss in the citric acid here.
03 -
Just leave the shaped gum out on your counter for about 30 minutes so it can get firm enough to chew.
04 -
Bit by bit, dump in the powdered sugar. Keep kneading until it isn’t sticky anymore and feels nice to shape.
05 -
Mix in some food coloring and flavoring oil so everything looks and tastes just how you want.
06 -
Pop the gum base in a bowl that’s good for the microwave. Heat it for 30 seconds at a time and stir after each go, until it’s totally melted.
07 -
Pour the corn syrup into your melted gum base. Give it a good stir until it’s all blended.
# Notes:
