Make Your Own Chewing Gum Kit from Schylling

If you've been searching for something to make and chew, then this is the kit for you! Make Your Own Chewing Gum Kit includes everything you need to make two delicious flavors of gum: chicle gum base (a type of tree sap), confectioner's sugar, corn syrup, 2 flavor packets, and a plastic pan. Because you'll be using the microwave or stovetop for this project, you'll also need an adult assistant nearby when making your gum.


Follow the easy directions for melting the chicle in the plastic pan and mixing it with the corn syrup. Then add some confectioner's sugar, and let the gum-making fun really begin! Squish, roll, pull, and tug at the gum mixture until it's all mixed together and ready for flavor. Divide your gum mixture into two parts and add your flavor packets - one is peppermint and the other is tutti-frutti for two totally different tastes. Finally, knead your gum mixtures some more, roll them out into gum "pancakes," and cut them into small pieces. Pop a piece in your mouth and chew on your own creation. Share some with friends and have a bubble-blowing contest (it blows great bubbles!). Design some cool wrappers to put your gum in. For lip-smacking fun, it's great to create your own gum!
