GUMDROP SALAD
This sounded like a really pretty, really appropriate salad for Easter. After all, what could represent Easter more than gum drops? (I know what you're thinking,but I say it's a tie!) This could be a real conversation piece on your buffet table, and you know the kids will delight in it! Recipe was submitted by Starshineeliz on TOH. If you want to use large marshmallows in this salad, be sure to quarter them!

Steps:
- Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/2 cup water to soften; set aside.
- Put the granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add the cherry-flavored gelatin to the pan, followed by the softened unflavored gelatin. Stir and remove from the heat. Continue stirring until the gelatins are dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain into a measuring cup and let cool for 5 minutes; it will be warm but not yet set. Pour the liquid into the molds. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Remove the gumdrops from the molds and place onto wax paper. Coat some in granulated red sugar, some in granulated white sugar and some in coarse white sugar; return to the wax paper. Store in a cool dry place until ready to eat.
