We are going to start off like normal, but instead
of just mixing marshmallows and water, we are
going to add in our jello mix. If the jello has
bigger grains, you might want to run it through a
food processor. You want this as fine as powdered
sugar so it mixes in well. Otherwise, it might
come out too grainy.
I melt the mix for 50 seconds on half power, take
out and stir, melt for 45 seconds on half power,
and mix one more time. If it still isn't melted,
throw it in a little longer, but keep an eye on
it. It'll puff up!

Mix in your sugar! Like I said, I don't measure.
I sift in a handful at a time. Mix it in the bowl
first until it starts to form a ball. If you
leave it along for half a minute and it melts down
into the bottom of the bowl, it's not ready. Once
it is mostly solid, pour it out onto your surface
(a silpat mat is perfect for this) that has
powdered sugar on it. Carefully knead it while
incorporating as much powdered sugar as you need.
I keep going until I can pass it between my hands
about 20 times without it sticking to me. Wrap it
up and put it away until you are ready to use it.
