Nerds rope is a delightful treat that combines a soft, chewy center with a burst of tiny, tangy, and crunchy confetti-colored Nerds candy. While you can easily find it on store shelves, why not try making your very own homemade version? Not only is it a fun and creative activity, but it also ensures that you never run out of this delectable treat.
Homemade Nerds Rope
In this blog post, I'll share an easy recipe for making your own Nerds rope that yields a whopping 10-foot-long rope. Get ready to embark on a delicious flavor adventure!
Ingredients
- 2 cups of assorted Gummy Bears
- 2 boxes of movie theater size Nerds Candy (any flavor)
Instructions
- Start by melting the gummy bears in a microwave-safe bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for 30-45 seconds until the gummy bears are completely melted and smooth.
- Once melted, pour the gummy bear mixture into a squeeze bottle. This will make it easier to control the flow of the melted candy while creating the ropes.
- Take a sheet of aluminum foil and fold it to create 5 narrow trough-like sections. These sections will act as molds for your Nerds ropes. Place the folded foil on a cookie sheet or any flat surface.
- Fill each narrow trough with a generous amount of Nerds candy. You can mix and match different flavors of Nerds to add more variety and excitement.
- Now, it's time to create the ropes! Squeeze a line of the melted gummy candy over the Nerds, making a few passes back and forth to ensure the candy sticks together. The melted gummy candy acts as the binding agent for the Nerds.
- Sprinkle more Nerds candy on top of the gummy candy layer, adding a vibrant and crunchy coating to the ropes.
- Once you've completed one rope, move on to the next trough and repeat the process until all the troughs are filled.
- To ensure the ropes hold their shape, compress the foil sections together, gently packing in the walls around each rope. This will create defined and solid Nerds ropes.
- Now, it's time for patience! Let the ropes set for 18-20 hours, allowing the gummy candy to solidify and dry. This will ensure the ropes maintain their chewy texture.
- After the sit time, carefully remove the aluminum foil sections, peeling away the foil from the ropes. This step may take around 10-20 minutes, but the end result is worth it!
- Once the ropes are free from the foil, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and maintain their deliciousness.
